Prepare for Implants With a Ridge Augmentation in Oxnard

If you want dental implants, but you've lived with missing teeth or have worn dentures for a long period of time, your mouth may not be ready for the procedure. To get implants, you need enough strength in your jaw to support these artificial tooth roots. A ridge augmentation in Oxnard can prepare your jaw for implants. The treatment will allow you to:

Eat the foods you love without limitation
Get the procedure you need for a healthier bite
Keep your dentures in place without adhesive
Feel confident about your smile again

If you're a new patient, you're eligible for a $49 consultation. Contact Anacapa Dental Art Institute to make an appointment. We'll show you around our state-of-the-art facility, which includes an in-house lab, and discuss what's necessary to rebuild your smile.

Strengthen Your Jaw for Your Implant Procedure

Moving forward with implants often requires preparation. A ridge augmentation will recreate the natural contour of your jaw and restore lost gum tissue and bone in your mouth. Once the procedure is complete and your mouth has had a chance to heal, we can move forward with procedures such as:

All-on-4^® Dental Implants Plus - Four or more implants are strategically placed in your jaw to support your new teeth. With our specialized version of the procedure, we often use six implants. This gives you optimal results and greater stability. For more on our approach, watch this video with Dr. Jivraj.
Full Mouth Reconstruction - If ridge supplementation is part of the reconstruction of your whole smile, we'll move forward with the treatment plan we have in place.

When it comes to complex dental procedures, you want to trust who is working on your smile. At our practice, you'll have the opportunity to get treatment from a world-renowned expert in his field. Dr. Jivraj has taught courses to dentists at Nobel Biocare, a leading provider of dental implants. He has been recognized by his peers with several awards and shares his knowledge of implants with media outlets around the country. You may also have the opportunity to work with Dr. Giraldo, who is also an expert in implants and complex reconstruction.

For a ridge augmentation in Oxnard, call Anacapa Dental Art Institute today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer. Saturday visits are available upon request.

Dr. Jivraj and his staff are the absolute BEST in the industry and we are so lucky they're in practice here, locally, in Ventura County. They worked with me on every aspect of my dental journey. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They're upfront, forthright, and honest. I can't recommend anyone to a better dental group than Anacapa Dental Art Institute. You'll be amazed at how they can change your image of self. Smile again without any worry of what others will think, and give you back your self-confidence.

I have both upper and lower complete implants and couldn't be happier. Dr. J and his assistant Laura are amazing. My appointments always started on time, there was minimal pain, and they always called at home to check in on me. The office is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art...

Barbara J.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Steven W.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Anthony V.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Denise D.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

What is 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.

How much does ridge augmentation cost?

The cost will vary depending on the condition of your jaw and how much of the area needs to be restored. We will be able to give you a cost estimate after examining your jaw and determining how much work needs to be done. Dental or medical insurance may pay part of the cost. We also have third-party financing available to help you pay for the procedure, if needed.

Why would I need ridge augmentation?

Ridge augmentation is often performed to prepare a patient's mouth to receive dental implants. If the jaw is too thin or the ridge isn't tall enough to support implants, then augmentation may be needed. Ridge augmentation is also done to make the area where you've lost a tooth more attractive. Building up the ridge will ensure a more natural-looking jawline.
