Our natural teeth are vital to bone maintenance and preservation. Both act as the framework of our facial structures such as lips, cheeks and nasobuccal folds. When teeth are lost, the bone begins to degrade. The framework starts to collapse resulting in visible signs of aging: lips and cheeks sag, nasobuccal folds deepen. Dental implants replace function of natural teeth by preserving jawbone and providing anchor or stability to dental restorations (crowns, bridges, dentures, all-on-4, full arch prostheses). As a result the aging process is delayed and quality of life is improved. If you have a full arch or mouth of missing teeth, implants will support your facial structures resulting in the same effect as a facelift.
