Prevent Bone Loss
When you lose a tooth, the bone beneath it starts to shrink. Dental implants are the only solution that stops this process.
Your jawbone needs stimulation to stay healthy. Every time you chew, your tooth roots send signals to the bone, telling it to stay strong. When a tooth is missing, that signal stops. The bone begins to shrink.
This process is called resorption. It can start within weeks of losing a tooth. Over months and years, the bone loss can change the shape of your face, making you look older than you are.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that mimics a natural root. The titanium post fuses with your jawbone and restores that critical stimulation. Dentures and bridges sit on top of the gums and do not prevent bone loss.
Studies show that patients with dental implants maintain their bone density at levels similar to patients with natural teeth. The sooner you replace a missing tooth with an implant, the more bone you preserve.
