Reasons for Jaw Bone Loss and Deterioration Los Angeles! Click on the link and see what the most common causes for jaw bone deterioration and loss that may require a bone grafting procedure

The Importance of Teeth for Jaw Bone Health Los Angeles When one or more teeth are missing it can lead to bone loss at the site of the gap. This loss of jaw bone can develop into additional problems, both with your appearance and your overall health. You may experience pain, problems with your remaining teeth, altered facial appearance, and eventually even the inability to speak and/or eat normally. In the same way that muscles are maintained through exercise, bone tissue is ...maintained by use. Natural teeth are embedded in the jaw bone and stimulate the jaw bone through activities such as chewing and biting. When teeth are missing, the alveolar bone, or the portion of the jaw bone that anchors the teeth into the mouth, no longer receives the necessary stimulation it needs and begins to break down, or resorb. The body no longer uses or needs the jaw bone, so it deteriorates. https://www.brooksoralsurgery.com//bone-g/jaw-bone-health/ See more

Bone Grafting Los Angeles Major & Minor Bone Grafting Missing teeth over a period of time can cause your jaw bone to atrophy, or resorb. This often results in poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for the placement of dental implants as well as long term shifting of remaining teeth and changes to facial structure. Most patients, in these situations, are not candidates for dental implants.... Fortunately, today we have the ability to grow bone where it is needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, but it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance. https://www.brooksoralsurgery.com/procedures/bone-grafting/
