Learn About Having Not Enough Bone

DAVINCI
Your jawbone is the backbone of your smile; it shapes the way you smile, eat, speak, and interact with others. Time passes, and as we age, our bones can become more and more delicate. Gum disease, infection, and advanced tooth decay are major causes of bone loss in your jaw.
Without a healthy and strong jawbone, the natural contours of your face degrade, the fullness of the chin and facial structure starts to diminish, and in most cases, the surrounding teeth can begin to shift and tilt. Fortunately, with modern dental technology, rebuilding the foundation of your smile is made possible.
At DaVinci Smiles, we can help you restore lost bone due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or advanced gum recession. Our bone grafting procedure can be the key to saving teeth that have been weakened by periodontal disease, rebuilding the lost bone structure, providing strength and support for remaining teeth, and ultimately paving the way for successful implant-supported restorations. Our experienced dental professionals will evaluate your unique needs to create an individualised treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. Don’t let bone loss prevent you from having the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Not Having Enough Bone
Is not having enough bone a serious dental problem?
Bone loss is a serious issue that can lead to serious health complications if left unchecked. Without a strong and healthy bone structure, you are at risk for developing a sunken face and more dental health issues. It can affect your remaining teeth and cause difficulty eating and speaking. Consequently, it’s essential to speak with your dentist to discuss treatments and interventions to preserve the roots of your teeth or address any issues related to bone loss.
Does having not enough bone affect my face shape?
The jawbone is the support structure of your teeth. If you lose bone, it can cause the shape of your face to change and look sunken in or older than your actual age. Here at DaVinci Smiles, we strongly advise our patients to seek treatment for bone loss as early as possible to prevent such complications from arising. We offer consultations for those who wish to discuss their options for addressing bone loss. The team of experienced dentists at DaVinci Smiles are here to listen, understand, and provide you with a suitable treatment option for your bone loss issue. Contact us today to get started!
How will my dentist manage my bone loss problem?
Thanks to modern technology and advanced dental techniques, dentists are now able to effectively reverse bone loss through bone grafting. Bone grafting is a pre-implant surgery procedure that replaces lost bone with graft material. This is the most common treatment for patients with severe bone loss. An incision is made in the gum line to access the underlying bone, and a bone graft is placed in the area. Once the transplant site is healed and healthy, your dentist can move forward with implant placement for a restored and healthy smile.
How do I prevent not having enough bone in the future?
If you have lost some teeth or are suffering from mild gum disease, addressing it early on is essential to prevent further bone loss. Mild gum disease and tooth decay can progress to more serious conditions if not addressed promptly. That’s why we advise you to always practise good oral hygiene and to regularly visit your dentist at least every six months for routine check-ups.
