  2. Tooth Loss Leads to Bone Loss

    2. Implants Prevent Bone Atrophy and Creates the Optimal Esthetic Result for Missing Teeth
    3. The more teeth that are lost, the greater the impact to appearance and psychological well being.
 
Concepts of Edentulism
Healthy Tooth


The jawbone consists of tow types of bone
- Cortical bone (hard, outer bone)
- Cancellous bone (Softer, inner bone)

Partial Denture


Bone Support teeth but will resorb, or atrophy, when there is no tooth root to stimulate the bone

Bone Resorption


Bone resorption can lead to changes in facial appearance and potential exposure of the mandibular nerve
- Loss of “mid face” support – look older
- Discomfort / pain
