Do you have a single or several missing teeth? Do you have periodontitis (gum disease) or peri-implantitis (gum disease)? it’s critical to stop bone loss in its tracks and devise a strategy for replacing what’s been lost.
What causes tooth-related bone loss?
Bone loss is quite frequent, and it is generally caused by missing teeth or severe periodontitis (or peri-implantitis).
Teeth that are missing:
25% of the surrounding bone is lost in the first year after a tooth is removed, and it will continue to wear away over time. Why The pressure and stress of chewing normally strengthens and preserves your jawbone.
The bone resorbs into the body when the pressure is no longer present.
Periodontitis or peri-implantitis is a condition in which bacteria in your mouth eat away at the underlying jawbone that links the tooth (or implant) to the bone.
Is it possible to reverse jaw bone loss?
Bone loss cannot be restored on its own. Without treatment, the bone in your jaw and surrounding your teeth will resorb, resulting in further tooth loss, illness, and discomfort. There is wonderful news to report! In the vast majority of instances, dental bone loss may be halted. You may really repair bone and reverse bone loss with excellent periodontal care.
