Canal Calem Periodontics Now Welcomes New Patients for Ridge Augmentations in Cherry Hill, NJ

CHERRY HILL, N.J., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The esteemed periodontists at Canal Calem Periodontics help those suffering from lost jawbone volume in Cherry Hill, NJ restore their jaw and smile through ridge augmentation. Bone loss in the jaw can severely hinder a person's life, affecting both their mental and physical health. Ridge augmentation allows periodontists to restore the natural contours of the jaw, enhance facial aesthetics and improve patient candidacy for dental implant placement. Patients with jawbone loss can receive this beneficial treatment at either the Medford, NJ or Moorestown, NJ Canal Calem Periodontics practice locations.

Bone loss in the jaw can occur for a variety of reasons, including trauma to the jaw, disease or lack of stimulation due to tooth loss. When the jawbone has deteriorated, there is less support for tooth roots, causing looseness and eventual tooth loss. In addition, the natural shape of the jaw and face as a whole will be altered, giving a more sunken in, aged look to the patient. Tooth loss combined with a changed facial appearance often lead patients to experience self-consciousness and a diminished quality of life. Dental implants, which need bone to stay secure in the jaw, may not be possible without ridge augmentation to restore the proper levels of bone to the jaw.

Ridge augmentation involves restoring bone where there is little bone width and height. Through a process called bone grafting, periodontists at Canal Calem Periodontics can rebuild the contours of the jaw, improving the appearance of the patient's face and creating proper bone volume to support teeth or dental implants. Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement solution that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Typically, implants can be placed between four to six months after ridge augmentation is performed.

Periodontists are specialists in the hard and soft tissues of the mouth as well as in treatment of gum disease and dental implants to replace missing teeth. Canal Calem Periodontics offers experienced specialized care for patients who are seeking treatment for bone loss. The practice has been restoring smiles with ridge augmentation for over 25 years and Dr. Mario Canal maintains a membership with both the Academy of Osseointegration and the Delaware Valley Academy of Osseointegration.
