If you’ve struggled from jaw bone loss due to missing teeth, you’re not alone, and there’s a solution to get you smiling again. A ridge augmentation recreates the natural contour of the gums and jaw bone, restoring its form and creating a solid foundation for implants.
Why should I choose ridge augmentation?
After tooth extraction, the jaw bone may need to be rebuilt and reshaped to make sure that your mouth can accommodate a dental implant, or for aesthetic purposes. Not everyone needs ridge augmentation, but it’s often done immediately after tooth extraction to avoid the need for another surgery. If your oral surgeon believes that your jaw bone may need strengthening, it’s a good idea to get ridge augmentation during your tooth extraction procedure.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency in Doral?
Not every dental concern requires same-day attention — but some absolutely do. A dental emergency is any situation involving acute pain, visible damage to teeth or gums, or an immediate threat to your oral health. Acting quickly can mean the difference between saving or losing a tooth.
Common dental emergencies we treat at our Doral office include:
- Severe toothache or persistent throbbing pain
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
- Lost filling or dental crown
- Dental abscess or painful oral infection
- Gum injuries with bleeding or swelling
- Facial swelling related to a tooth or jaw
- Dental injuries from sports, accidents, or falls

Losing a tooth can weaken the underlying jawbone by 25% or more within just 12 months.
