Dental Implants assist you in looking and feeling younger, because they prevent bone loss. By preventing bone loss that would normally occur with the loss of teeth, your facial structures remain normal and intact. The chances of wrinkling and the look of old age before your time is less likely. In other words, everyday that you continue to wear dentures, you are experiencing bone loss, which makes you look much older than you have to.

Think of someone you know wearing dentures or that tooth loss. Remember how their checks looked sunken in? A person with “normal” teeth may chew with 150 to 250 pounds of force; denture wearers chew with a meager 2 to 5 pounds of force! This hollowed-out look of their face is mostly related to the atrophy, or withering of their facial and smiling muscles.
