What is Jawbone Loss and Deterioration?
When the alveolar bone, which supports the teeth, loses volume and density, jawbone loss and degradation result. This can lead to significant oral health issues, such as tooth misalignment, tooth loss, and facial changes.
What Are the Common Causes?
One of the main causes of jawbone deterioration is tooth loss, as the absence of natural teeth leads to loss of stimulation, causing the jawbone to resorb and deteriorate. However, other common causes of this issue include:
- Periodontal Disease: The infections that harm the gums also have the potential to damage your jawbone.
- Dentures/Bridgework: Certain dental restorations don’t provide direct stimulation to the jawbone, which can result in bone resorption.
- Facial Trauma: Deterioration may result from injuries that stop the jawbone from being stimulated normally.
- Misalignment: Because there is less stimulation when there is no opposing tooth structure, bone loss may result.
- Tumors: Bone grafting is required for restoration when parts of the jaw are removed because of benign or malignant tumors.
- Developmental Deformities: Developmental conditions where patients have missing teeth or jawbone.
- Sinus Deficiencies: These involve loss of upper jawbone mass following molar removal.
Solutions Offered by 3020 Dental Implants
Depending on the state of your jawbone and overall oral health, we have various methods to stop jawbone deterioration and help you recover your oral health. These include:
Bone Grafting
To help rebuild jawbone density and prepare for dental implant placement, we offer bone grafting. The procedure involves transferring bone tissue to promote bone formation and establish a solid implant base.
Dental Implants
The best way to stop jawbone loss is with dental implants. They provide the stimulation required for bone preservation, functioning similarly to natural tooth roots.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift procedure can be performed on patients who have inadequate bone volume in their upper jaw. By increasing bone mass, this procedure enables the placement of dental implants.
Regular Monitoring and Care
We perform routine evaluations to monitor your jawbone health and detect early signs of deterioration. This proactive approach allows us to address issues promptly, ensuring your long-term well-being.
