This Doctor is a true healer!I had a wonderful opportunity to see Dr. Bembey! She really knows her stuff!

I have some really tough dental issues, and she completely understood everything that I was going through and was able to guide me in the right direction. So great full of for her kindness and compassion. -Shanon E., June 2023 Read More Reviews Listen to Our Patient Stories |

Ridge augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure done to aid in the reconstruction of the jaw and gum. There are various reasons ridge augmentation is performed, but the most common cause is tooth extraction followed by trauma. The procedure is done to extend the jawbone, especially for patients looking to get a dental implant. During trauma or tooth extraction, the gum or bone tissue below the tooth could be lost easily. This procedure helps to recreate a gum ridge or a natural bone.
