Astronauts when journeying into outer space face the possibility of getting osteoporosis
if they are without gravity for an extended period of time. So they engage in
rigorous exercises while in the shuttle to avoid these deleterious changes to
their bodies
Teeth work in much the same way. If your jaw bone is not stimulated by the
pressure of chewing forces the bone will slowly begin to atrophy or shrink away.
If you are wearing dentures now you may have noticed a significant change in the
shape of you jaw and face as your bone has been without the stimulation of your
teeth. The dental implants will serve as a stimulus to the jaw bone, as your
teeth did, and preserve the integrity and health of your bone. Your bone will
remain strong and will not change in shape over the years as long as the
implants are in place.
So as you can see there are many benefits to having implants placed. If you are
considering this as an option please give our office a call and we can discuss
your options in further detail.
We will be happy to help you with all your Dental work.
