Bone Loss in the Jaw

As one encounters instances of tooth loss or develops periodontal disease, there exists a likelihood for subsequent deterioration in the jawbone resulting from diminished mass. The consequential alteration in facial structure often creates an impression of increased age.
However, by harnessing the resemblance to natural tooth roots, dental implants actively promote new bone formation within the area affected. Consequently, this proves instrumental in averting any potential instances of progressive bone degeneration. This is because the jawbone responds to the chewing pressure transmitted by the implant, promoting bone density.
