People lose teeth for numerous reasons: Decay, gum disease and old age being among the most significant. Today Teeth Implants (Dental Implants) are becoming a popular treatment within the realms of Cosmetic Dentistry: Not only because of their enhanced functionality over dentures and bridges but also because of their enhanced aesthetics. When the procedure is carried out correctly Teeth Implants (Dental Implants) look extremely natural. They do not have clasps and do not move and need to be adjusted. However, they also have another important function and advantage – And that is to slow down the effects of bone loss and avoid Endentulism.

The Aesthetics of Teeth Implants – Dental Implants

A condition known as Endentulism is the result of tooth loss. When a few teeth are missing this may result in ‘Partial Endentulism’. When someone has suffered complete tooth loss, perhaps due to periodontal disease, this can result in ‘Complete Endentulism’. Teeth have more functionality than many people realize. They support the cheeks and lips filling out the face which is more aesthetically pleasing. They maintain what Dentists describe as the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion – VDO. In layman’s terms this refers to the natural relationship between the nose, lips and chin. When people lose teeth their mouth can, quite literally look as if it and the cheeks have collapsed. This in turn can cause wrinkles to form. Teeth Implants (Dental Implants) can help to avoid Endentulism which is just one of the reasons they are used within Cosmetic Dentistry.

Why is Slowing Down Bone Loss Important?

The sole purpose of the alveolar ridges of the jaw is to support and anchor teeth. When teeth are missing the alveolar bone is slowly reabsorbed: Known as atrophy. And this can change the shape of the jaw-line and face making the person look older. Missing teeth, wearing full and partial dentures can accelerate the process in the long term. When the natural teeth are present or Teeth Implants the bone continues to renew: Therefore Teeth Implants (Dental Implants) can help to slow down bone loss and maintain the structure of the face.
