Did You Know?
When a tooth is lost, it's not just the visible gap that changes.
Your tooth root plays an important role in keeping the jawbone healthy. Every time you bite and chew, the root stimulates the bone beneath it, helping to maintain its strength and density. 😁
Once a tooth is removed, that stimulation stops. Over time, the jawbone in that area can begin to shrink away. This natural process, known as bone resorption, can affect the fit of neighbouring teeth, alter facial structure and make future tooth replacement more challenging.
Dental implants are unique because they replace both the tooth and the root. The implant sits within the jawbone, helping to stimulate the bone in a similar way to a natural tooth and supporting long term oral health.
