Rebuild Your Jawline With Ridge Augmentation in St. Petersburg
When you have lived with tooth loss for a while, it impacts the structure of your jaw and gums.

If so, you can trust that Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawford will:
- Make you a candidate for dental implants
- Restore the natural shape of your jaw and gums

We’ll Help You Become a Candidate for Implants
One of the reasons patients visit Crawford Implant Dentistry and Laser Periodontics is our high standards of dental care. Whether you need advanced periodontics or dental implants, your smile is in excellent hands with our team.
As a periodontists, Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawford have advanced dental surgery skills, particularly with treatments that prepare you for implants. They take the time to explain the importance of any treatment and answer your questions. They won’t talk down to you or at you. Rather, they discuss the process with you. It’s important to them that you move forward with confidence.
A ridge augmentation may be necessary after tooth loss. You lose structure in your jaw and gums once your tooth and its roots are gone. An augmentation procedure recreates the contour of your jaw to support implants. It can also be performed to give your jaw a healthier and more attractive appearance.
Once complete, we can move forward with your implant procedure.
Find the Right Implants for Your Smile
You have many options for implants including:
- All-on-4 Dental Implants – Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawford will place four to six implants in your jaw to replace your missing tooth roots. The implants support an entire arch of new teeth, giving you better bite strength and improved jawbone health.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – They can anchor your dentures to implants, so you no longer have to use adhesive to keep them secure. They’ll feel and function similar to natural teeth. You can also taste food better since your palate is exposed.
There’s no reason to feel nervous about your procedure. In addition to numbing your mouth, we have sedation options available. Choose from laughing gas, oral sedation or IV sedation, depending on your level of anxiety. You’ll also be comfortable in our heated massage chairs.

An Experience Patients Trust
Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.
