For patients wishing to prevent premature aging and bone loss that comes from missing teeth, dental implants provide stability and prevention of facial sagging. The lower part of your face begins collapsing, slowly closing the distance between your chin and the tip of your nose. Changes can include extra mouth wrinkles, a more pointed chin, and thinning lips, which can make you look older than you really are.nnBefore you make any decisions about how you are going to have your natural teeth replaced, talk with Dr. Forcioli to see which treatment option is best for your personal goals. He will take the time to evaluate your specific dental anatomy and discuss several important factors to a healthy outcome. If dental implants are a good option for you, it could benefit your oral health in ways that other replacement options may not be able to provide.
