Understanding Bone Loss and Its Impact on Implants
SAN DIEGO, POWAY & SORRENTO VALLEY, CA'S PREFERRED DENTAL IMPLANT SPECIALISTS
The Hidden Consequence of Tooth Loss: Bone Resorption
When you lose a tooth, you lose more than just the visible crown. The tooth root, which once provided essential stimulation to your jawbone, is also gone. Without this stimulation, the body begins to resorb (shrink) the bone in that area. Over time, this bone loss can lead to significant issues:
- Changes in Facial Appearance: Loss of jawbone can lead to a sunken, aged look, particularly around the mouth and chin.
- Shifting of Adjacent Teeth: Neighboring teeth can drift into the empty space, causing bite problems and misalignment.
- Difficulty with Chewing: Reduced bone support and shifting teeth can compromise your ability to eat comfortably and nutritiously.
If significant bone loss has already occurred, a restorative procedure like bone grafting may be necessary. This process adds volume and density to the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for future dental implants.
The Long-Term Value of Dental Implants
While aesthetics are important, dental implants offer profound functional and structural benefits that provide exceptional long-term value.
- A Lifelong Solution: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, unlike other restorations which may need regular replacement.
- Preserve Your Facial Structure: An implant’s post acts like a natural tooth root, providing the necessary stimulation to maintain jawbone health and prevent the facial collapse associated with bone loss.
- Cost-Effective Over Time: While the initial investment may be higher, implants avoid the repeated repair and replacement costs associated with bridges or dentures.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates:
- Have good oral hygiene
- Are free of gum disease
- Have sufficient jawbone density
- Are in good overall health
If you lack jawbone density, don't worry—we may recommend bone grafting to build up the area before implant placement.

Common ALL-ON-4 Questions
What Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Do?
All-on-4 dental implants are used to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The replacement teeth are usually made from porcelain and they look just like natural teeth. All-on-4 dental implants are placed in the jawbone and they fuse with the bone over time. This helps to provide a strong foundation for the replacement teeth and provides a lasting solution to restore a beautiful smile.
