When teeth are lost, progressive bone loss ensues. Without the stimulation provided by roots or implants, the bone rapidly resorbs, with up to 25% lost within the first year. While dentures and crowns may address cosmetic concerns, they fail to tackle bone loss in the jaw, leading to a weakened jawbone over time. This can result in a sunken facial appearance, which is highly unaesthetic. Dental implants stimulate the bone, preventing resorption and preserving facial aesthetics.
