​Your teeth are supported within the jaw by the jawbone. Tooth loss can occur for various reasons, such as accidents or untreated periodontal disease. In cases of periodontal disease, prolonged inflammation leads to bone loss around the teeth, resulting in increased mobility and eventual extraction. When teeth are lost, they leave gaps in the jawbone. The remaining bone undergoes atrophy over time, as it no longer has teeth to support. This leads to a process of absorption and sedimentation in the exact position where the teeth used to be. Over the years, this bone resorption can cause dentures to fit poorly, gaps to form under prosthetic bridges, and, in advanced stages, changes to the facial structure due to the gradual loss of face vertical height.






Dental research has long been focused on finding ways to preserve bone after the loss of natural teeth. Today, we have a scientifically proven and tested solution to the problem of bone resorption: dental implants. For over 60 years, dental implants have been successfully used to replace the root of missing teeth within the bone. By placing implants in the areas of missing teeth, they mimic natural tooth roots, providing the necessary stimulation to the jawbone to prevent absorption. Implants are held securely in the bone, just like natural teeth, and effectively replace the tooth root within the jawbone.
