Removable Dentures Accelerate Bone Loss

Once upon a time, removable full dentures were the best — and indeed, the only — prosthetic teeth-
replacement system dentistry could offer. However, removable dentures come with problems. Their
instability in the mouth often requires the wearer to make constant adjustments and compromises, such
as eating primarily soft foods and being extra-careful when speaking and chewing. In time, even after
one has learned to get by with them, they eventually lose their fit. This happens because wearing them
accelerates bone loss in the jaw, which inevitably occurs after tooth loss. Accelerated bone loss results
from the pressure dentures place on the bony ridges that formerly supported the teeth.

The loss of bone tissue inside the jaw is invisible; its effects, however, eventually become easy to see.
When teeth are lost, the nearby bone is resorbed (melted away) by the body's natural processes. In
time, bone volume and density decrease significantly; that's why dentures stop fitting correctly. As the
bone shrinks, the distance between your nose and chin decreases too, and support for facial features
collapses. Let go long enough, it can make you look prematurely aged and unhappy — whether you're

wearing your dentures or not (View Example).

Implant-Supported Dentures Prevent Bone Loss

Implant supported dentures vs removable dentures.While removable dentures don't stop bone loss,
there is a way to permanently replace a full set of teeth and prevent bone loss as well: implant-
supported dentures that are fixed in your mouth. Anchored firmly into the living bone tissue, dental
implants provide the stimulation and support needed to prevent bone from being lost. The bone in your
jaw actually fuses to the implant, due to the remarkable osseophilic (bone-loving) properties of
titanium, the metal of which dental implants are made.
