Make no mistake, your skin, eyes, and other \u201csurface\u201d physical characteristics contribute to your appearance, but their dimensions are determined by bone structure. If your skin is like wrapping paper, then your teeth and jawbone are like a box that gives the wrapping paper shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing Teeth Accelerate Jawbone Deterioration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing teeth can cause your lips to appear small or diminished, but any dental restoration can restore fullness to your smile. What sets dental implants apart is how they preserve your jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural teeth are connected to the jawbone via dental roots, and transfer stimulation to the bone that helps it grow and retain essential nutrients. When they go missing, stimulation is no longer received by the jawbone, and so it starts to recede. Dental implants are designed with titanium posts that are biocompatible, allowing them to completely fuse with your jawbone. The system is very similar to that of dental roots, so it\u2019s no surprise that time has shown dental implants effectively prevent jawbone deterioration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Can Preserve Your Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By maintaining the shape of your jawbone and dental line up, dental implants can keep your facial features from appearing hollow or weak. Your skin won\u2019t sag as much thanks to the preserved bone mass, and your smile will look perfectly seamless. Dentists may only recommend implants for patients experiencing tooth loss, but they\u2019re as close to a cosmetic dental treatment that a restoration can get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like the sound of youthful, vibrant facial aesthetics, talk to your dentist about dental implants. They can help you determine whether implants are right for you and your smile goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casperfamilydentistry.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Zach Kingsberg<\/a> is a compassionate and caring dentist who treats patients of all ages.
