Sunken Face
DAVINCI
A sunken face, or sunken cheeks, is a condition where the area around the cheeks looks sunken or hollowed out. This can happen due to ageing, illness, genetics, trauma, or dental problems. This sunken appearance can be age-related, but it can also occur due to an underlying dental structure problem like missing teeth or improper alignment of the teeth and jaw.
At DaVinci Smiles, we understand that a sunken face is more than just a cosmetic issue. It can cause problems with oral health and make everyday activities difficult. We offer sunken face treatments with dental implants that restore the area and enhance your oral health. At our clinic, we provide customised sunken face treatments that begin with a comprehensive dental and jawbone exam. In some cases, x-rays may be required to further evaluate the issue.
Our dental professionals will work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget. Our treatments include single implants, multiple implants, and implant-retained dentures. Our dental professionals will walk you through the process and find the appropriate treatment. At DaVinci Smiles, we only use quality materials and cutting-edge tools. We strive to provide a positive experience so you can feel confident in your smile again!

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunken Face
What are the signs of a sunken face?
A sunken face is usually caused by tooth loss and can be identified by a sunken-in complexion, loose skin around the cheeks, deep wrinkles, and a pointed chin. Other symptoms of a sunken face include:
- A worn appearance
- Prominent jowls or jaw area
- Thinning lips
- Excessive sagging of the jawbone.
What are the disadvantages of a sunken face?
A sunken face can cause problems with eating, speaking, and confidence. It also leads to premature ageing and can make you more vulnerable to infections because of the lack of protective tissue covering your teeth.
How will my dentist manage my sunken face?
Your dentist at DaVinci Smiles can use a variety of treatments to address your sunken face, depending on your specific circumstances. Dental implants are the most commonly used option for sunken face treatment because they replace missing teeth, restore facial structure, and support facial muscles. Other options may include dental bridges, dentures, facial surgery, and fillers to minimise wrinkles.
What are the reasons why I need to address my sunken face?
A sunken face can lead to premature ageing and make you more vulnerable to infection. It can also contribute to sunken cheeks, sunken eyes, and sunken temples due to the loss of facial volume. By addressing sunken faces with dental treatments from DaVinci Smiles, you can restore your facial structure, improve your appearance, and reduce the risk of further problems.
Can sunken face be prevented?
Absolutely! Eating a nutritious diet with loads of vitamins and minerals, cleaning your teeth twice daily, and regularly visiting the dentist for exams and cleanings can help avert sunken face. If you are at risk for a sunken face because of missing teeth, dental implants can help secure the bones before any damage happens.
