How Cosmetic Dental Implants Prevent Jaw Bone Shrinkage (and Other Benefits)

Information may not be reliable

Dental implants are increasing in popularity as a common alternative to dentures. They are a permanent solution for various orthodontic needs. For those who suffer from missing or crooked teeth, dental implants can improve the appearance and make it easier to chew or consume food. For patients who are considering different options with their dental needs, there are a few benefits locals will have with cosmetic dentistry implants in Studio City.

Close In Gaps:

One of the most common issues with teeth is having gaps present, which can detract from the appearance and overall smile. With time, the gaps can increase in size due to teeth that naturally shift and move where space is available. Many people resort to having braces installed, which can make for a lengthy process that takes several years to complete. Even after the braces have been used, the teeth can naturally begin to shift again. Having cosmetic dental implants can close in gaps and improve the appearance, making it easier to have improved confidence and make it easier to chew.

Prevent the Jawbone From Shrinking:

The jawbone naturally begins to shrink when it is not stimulated by roots. Although dentures and bridges only offer a solution above the gums, dental implants prevents bone loss and stops it from progressing by replacing the tooth root underneath. This will prevent the structure of the face from changing while maintaining volume in the lips and cheeks for a balanced profile.

Provide Even Use of Jaws:

When teeth are missing in the mouth, it can cause extra stress on one side of the jaw due to a lack of support. By having dental implants installed, it provides even use of both sides of the jaw to ensure that the bones do not deteriorate or wear down with time. This makes it easier to chew and will protect the teeth from being overused in specific areas of the mouth. This will also reduce tension and stress that is placed on one side of the jaw, making it easier to feel comfortable and prevent pain from developing.

Prevent Teeth From Shifting:

It's common for the teeth to shift and move gradually when certain teeth are missing and gaps are present. When dental implants are installed, it works to keep natural teeth in place due to less room available. Patients can enjoy having a smile where teeth are secure and permanently in place.
