What is Jawbone Loss and Deterioration?
Jawbone loss and deterioration occur when the alveolar bone, part of the jaw that anchors the teeth, loses its density and volume. This process can lead to significant oral health problems, including tooth misalignment, loss of remaining teeth, and changes in facial appearance.
What Are the Common Causes?
- Tooth Extractions: The absence of natural teeth leads to loss of stimulation, causing the jawbone to resorb and deteriorate.
- Periodontal Disease: Infections that damage the gums and can lead to the destruction of the jawbone.
- Dentures/Bridgework: Lack of direct stimulation to the jawbone can result in bone resorption.
- Facial Trauma: Injuries that prevent the normal stimulation of the jawbone can lead to deterioration.
- Misalignment: Lack of opposing tooth structure can cause bone loss due to decreased stimulation.
- Osteomyelitis: This infection reduces blood supply to the bone, leading to its loss.
- Tumors: Removal of jaw sections due to benign or malignant tumors necessitates bone grafting for restoration.
- Developmental Deformities: Conditions with missing teeth or jawbone can benefit from bone grafting.
- Sinus Deficiencies: A sinus lift procedure can address loss of upper jawbone mass following molar removal.
Solutions Offered by 3020 Dental Implants
Bone Grafting
We provide bone grafting to help restore jawbone density and prepare for dental implants. This involves transplanting bone tissue to stimulate bone growth and create a strong foundation for the implants.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the premier solution for preventing jawbone loss. They act like natural tooth roots, providing the necessary stimulation for bone preservation.
Sinus Lift
Patients with insufficient bone volume in their upper jaw can undergo a sinus lift procedure. This procedure increases bone mass, which makes dental implant placement possible.
