Dental Implants

The Issue of Facial Collapse

The primary reason people start to look so much older when they lose their teeth is bone loss. Natural teeth stimulate the bone in the jaw, keeping it dense and healthy. When the teeth are lost, bone immediately starts to atrophy. As it melts away, it causes a variety of problems. Dental implants are the ideal solution to prevent facial collapse. The implant stimulates the jaw much like the original tooth did, keeping the jawbone healthy and whole. When implants aren't possible, it's vital that dentures fit well so they can do their part in preventing bone loss.
