Implant dentistry helps correct the number one problem caused by losing teeth – bone loss. Losing teeth begins a process that will change the shape of the face leading to an “elderly” appearance. The loss of bone causes the face to shorten. The chin rises and appears to jut out as the lips pull inward, thinning as they roll back. This causes the nose to appear bigger. Together, this can lead to an effect called “witches chin.” As the chin rises and the lips pull inward, the cheeks thicken along the jawline and droop, a major contributor to the formation of “jowls.”
Dental implants help prevent bone loss, much like a natural tooth – it puts internal pressure on the bone, stimulating it to stay strong.
