So, many times when a tooth has been lost, let’s say you had a root canal when you were a kid and they got taken out, and that bone has just slowly eroded away. I always say bonus kind of like our fields…our cotton fields out here, no roots in the ground, with time when the wind blows, the dirt is going to blow away. So, our bone is no different. We call that atrophy. And so, when we have atrophic bone where it has eroded away, sometimes we need to rebuild it. And that way we can replace it with like a dental implant or something. So, many times we’re able to do that procedure and grow the bone back that was lost with time. And that way we reset the foundation for a healthy West Texas smile.

Prepare for Implants With a Lubbock Ridge Augmentation
When you have dealt with tooth loss for a long time, you often lose bone in your jaw. Replacing your teeth with implants is always a wonderful solution to restore your smile. However, many patients who come to see us for implants don’t have the jawbone volume to support these artificial tooth roots. A ridge augmentation in Lubbock will:
- Reshape the ridge of your gum and bone to prepare you for implants
- Strengthen the bone in your jaw for better oral health
- Restore your smile’s appearance by giving you a more natural outline where teeth were previously missing

I would highly recommend High Plains Periodontics! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and professional. I had no trouble getting in the first time, and all my return visits have been easily made. I have been seeing Dr.Morgan and I have been very pleased. He is knowledgeable, very friendly, easy to discuss your situation with, and gentle with procedures. I have also seen Dr. Everett, and have been pleased with him. Their office and treatment rooms are exceptionally clean. Masks are required. Of course, not during treatment! Lastly, I have not been made to feel like a terrible person due to my dental health. I am a 70 year old female and I trust their advice!

Dr. Everett was very thorough with my consultation. He helped me with my impacted wisdom teeth. I was nervous the day of surgery. The staff were very nice and they played music while doing the surgery. It helped calm my nerves. His assistants are very nice and they answer all your questions. I liked when Dr. Everett gave me a call hours after my surgery just to check to see how I was feeling. At my post-op visit he said to call him if I have any discomfort/pain in the future.

This is absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever seen ! Dr. Everett and his staff are amazing. I went to five dentists after starting work on the all on fours total implant procedure. Unfortunately I lost all confidence and respect for the local dentist who started my procedure. I went to four other dentists in three cities for two years before I found Dr. Everett, my lifesaver! I started to work at 868 and finished it at age 70 though I spent only a few months of this time With Dr. Everett. I have told his office people that anyone has any questions about all on four implants is welcome to call me via his office. I am adding a photo of myself on a regular day. Please attention only to the teeth lol! Dr. Everett is truly one of the most talented dental artists I have ever met! Good luck on your journey you will be pleased when you are finished!

This place is terrific! All the staff and Dr. Everett are so kind and professional. Nobody likes having dental work, but these guys made the experience very tolerable and comfortable, start to finish! This is absolutely my and my children’s go-to, from here on.

Fantastic staff and services. I have extreme dental phobia. Dr. Everett and his assistants were so friendly and reassuring. I had dental surgery for sinus lifts. Absolutely no post op pain and my 2 week check up was a breeze. I’m actually looking forward to my dental implants.

I went in for a consultation with bad pain in caused by my wisdom teeth. Not only did they get me in the day after I called they pulled the teeth the same day as the consultation. I feel much better. They were kind & attentive & I really liked how smoothly everything went.
Common Questions About Ridge Augmentation
We perform this procedure if your jaw isn’t wide enough to support dental implants. It involves adding bone graft material to a small ridge along the top of your upper or lower jaw. It may be necessary if you’ve lost height and width in your jaw after losing teeth. In addition to preparing you for implant placement, it improves your appearance.
The cost will vary, depending on the specific type of procedure and the materials used to replace bone and/or encourage new growth. In many cases, at least some of the cost may be covered by dental insurance and/or health insurance. That’s because the procedure may be required to restore your oral health and function.
No. We will completely numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to your augmentation procedure. In addition, you have your choice of three kinds of dental sedation to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout your treatment. During recovery, you may experience some minor swelling and discomfort, which is typically easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
