This patient was missing two of the upper front teeth. The patient wanted to have the teeth replaced with dental implants but the bone was too narrow to allow the implants to be placed. The before photo shows the areas where the teeth were missing as the patient presented and the after photo shows the increase in width of the same areas 6 months after the ridge augmentation procedure was completed. Notice how the outside of the jaw is built out where the teeth are missing (arrows) in the after photo.
