Dental Implants Retain Bone Density To Keep Facial Features In Tact

Dental implants preserve the integrity of facial structures by preventing bone loss that would otherwise occur with the loss of teeth. This is particularly noticable in patients that have worn dentures for ten to twenty years.  Often times, the lower one-third of the face can collapse if implants are not placed to preserve the bone. The appearance of wrinkles around the mouth caused by posterior bite collapse, or complete facial structure collapse is virtually eliminated when dental implants are placed.  - Facial Features Remain In Tact
