Dental Implants and Bone Mass

Dental implants from Wildflower Dental in Sun City AZ support teeth so lifelike, patients have been known to forget some of their teeth aren’t real. That’s now natural their look and function is.

Those simple facts are enough to make most people choose dental implants if they need to replace one or more of their teeth. Then they learn that in addition to those benefits, implants can actually preserve and promote healthy bone mass in their jaws.

Dental Implants and Bone

An unfortunate consequence of losing teeth is that the bone surrounding the lost tooth begins to atrophy. This begins almost immediately, and is usually noticeable within a year or so. The person’s face takes on a shrunken or sagging appearance. The most teeth that are missing, the more pronounced it is.

This happens because of the missing tooth root. But because dental implants are physically attached to the jaw, they mimic the root. The natural biting and chewing motions stimulate the bone and encourage new tissue to grow around the implant.

One dental implant can support one artificial tooth, and several can support a bridge, and even a full dental arch. At Wildflower Dental in Sun City AZ we offer single tooth implants and implant-supported dentures. We have placed dental implants in patients from Peoria, Surprise, and Sun City West. They love their new teeth, and also love our all-inclusive pricing, lifetime warranty, free second opinions, and in-office discount plan.
