Prevention of bone loss
Tooth decay at an early age may lead to the removal of a tooth. With the loss of the structure, you start losing the bone mass of the jaw. The jawbone cannot maintain the mass unless it gets some stimulation through the tooth. Dental implants are the only option that will successfully replace the jawbone stimulation and help prevent untimely bone loss.

With the loss of each tooth, there will be some deformation in the bone structure that will directly affect the facial structure. For enhancing the appeal of your face, dental implants are the perfect solution. When most of the teeth start to fall off with aging, the jawbone has nothing left that can support the bone growth. Your body realizes that the jawbone is not essential anymore for supporting the teeth, so it gradually starts dissolving.
