Protect Your Jawbone & Keep Your Face Looking Its Best
Most people focus on the visible gap when teeth are missing. That makes sense. But the effects of tooth loss run deeper than what shows up in the mirror.
Every time you bite or chew, the roots of your teeth apply pressure into the jawbone. That pressure keeps the bone strong and stimulates new growth. When a tooth and its root are gone, that pressure stops. The jawbone no longer gets the signal it needs, and it starts to break down. Dentists call this resorption.
Bone loss does not happen overnight, but it adds up fast. As the jawbone shrinks, your face can begin to change shape. Cheeks may start to look hollow. The teeth on either side of the gap can shift or tilt into the open space, throwing off your bite and putting stress on your other teeth. The sooner a missing tooth is replaced, the better the outcome tends to be.
Dental implants work from the inside out. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone and left to heal. During that time, the bone gradually bonds with the post through osseointegration. Once that bond forms, the implant acts just like a natural root. The bone gets the pressure it needs, the breakdown stops, and your other teeth have no reason to move.
Progressive Periodontics & Implant Dentistry offers several ways to restore your smile:
- Single Tooth Implants: One post with a custom crown on top that matches your surrounding teeth.
- Implant Dentures: A removable set of replacement teeth anchored to the jaw for a secure, comfortable fit.
- All-on-X Implants: A full arch of teeth supported by four to six carefully placed implants.
- Teeth in a Day: Walk in with gaps and leave with a complete, working smile all in one visit.
- Full Mouth Reconstruction: A personalized plan that uses implants and other proven treatments to rebuild your smile when multiple teeth are missing.
Once your implants heal, taking care of them could not be easier. Brush and floss like you normally would. Eat the foods you enjoy. No messy adhesives, no overnight soaking, and no limits on what you can do.
