Understanding the Implications of Missing Teeth & Bone Loss
Beyond Dental & Implant Center in Dallas, TX specializes in the treatment of dental health issues, such as missing teeth and the resultant bone loss within the jaw. This is typically caused by the lack of necessary stimulation needed to maintain jawbone density in the absence of teeth. Over time, these changes can significantly affect the structure of the mouth.
Dr. Cory Nguyen and his team at Beyond Dental & Implant Center, offer advanced solutions like dental implants to address bone loss and preserve the surrounding bone which is fundamental for long-term oral health.

Enhance Your Dental Health Today
Your teeth play a major role in maintaining your jawbone health, aiding in clear speech, and enhancing your smile’s aesthetics, among other essential functions. If you’ve lost a tooth, trust in Beyond Dental and Implant Center to restore your dental health.
Preserving Jawbone Health
Tooth loss and bone loss are interconnected issues. The act of chewing naturally stimulates your jawbone, signalling your body to supply nutrients to this area. Any loss of teeth can diminish this needed stimulation, leading to a weakened jawbone due to the reduced nutrient supply. Changes like shifting teeth, altered bites, and conditions like bruxism and TMJ disorder can therefore develop over time.
Replacing Lost Teeth To Prevent Further Bone Loss
Dental implants have become one of the most popular options to replace lost teeth. These implants not only mimic the natural teeth appearance, but also restore the jawbone’s necessary stimulation. This helps prevent bone loss and keeps the jawbone strong and healthy.
Note: For successful dental implants, your jawbone needs to have enough bone mass. If the jawbone is too weak, it may result in unstable implants that are unable to support the new teeth.
Can Dental Implants Be Possible With Low Bone Mass?
Yes, even if your jawbone lacks the necessary strength to support implants, procedures like bone grafting can make implants a possibility. In this surgery, bone mass is transplanted to your jawbone to restore its strength. After healing, the implants can then be placed.
More radical restorations like a full arch restoration could be a suitable solution for those missing an entire set of teeth. This treatment requires only 4 posts for implantation, instead of the standard 6 – 8, thereby improving osseointegration and the success of your implant treatment.
Dental implants not only replace your missing teeth but also prevent further bone loss, helping maintain the integrity of your jawbone. For more information, schedule your appointment or call Beyond Dental and Implant Center today.
