When it comes to replacing missing teeth, the two most popular options are dental implants<\/a> and dentures. Both have their advantages, but one of the most important factors that distinguishes them is often overlooked\u2014your bone health. So, which choice will keep your jawbone healthy for years to come? Continue reading to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Causes Jawbone Loss?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bone loss happens in the jawbone mostly due to tooth loss. Natural tooth roots stimulate the jawbone through chewing and biting. So, when teeth are missing, this stimulation stops, leading to bone resorption. Over time, this can result in significant jawbone shrinkage and changes in facial structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do Dentures Affect Bone Loss?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dentures can improve the look and feel of your mouth after tooth loss, they don\u2019t prevent bone loss. Since dentures sit on top of the gums, they do not stimulate the jawbone. Over time, the lack of stimulation leads to continued bone resorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the jawbone shrinks, dentures can become loose and uncomfortable, requiring adjustments or replacements. In fact, ill-fitting dentures can speed up the resorption process, causing a cycle of bone deterioration and denture adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Dental Implants Stop Jawbone Deterioration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re concerned about jawbone loss, dental implants offer protection against its effects. The titanium fixtures that are implanted into your jawbone act like artificial tooth roots. As you bite and chew, they provide the stimulation necessary to keep your jawbone healthy and strong, preventing facial collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already have dentures, then you can get the best of both worlds with implant-stabilized dentures. These are special denture prosthetics that are attached to several strategically placed dental implants. For denture wearers, this is a fantastic option that allows them to fully restore their smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when it comes to bone health, dental implants are the superior choice. They provide stimulation to prevent bone loss and maintain jawbone integrity. While dentures offer a more affordable and non-surgical option, they do not support bone health in the same way. If you are considering your tooth replacement options, reach out to your dentist for a consultation. Together, you can find the best solution for your needs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
