Treating areas with existing bone loss, as well as areas at risk for accelerated bone loss (such as places where teeth used to be), may prevent additional tooth and oral bone loss. Because the upper and lower jaw bone create the shape for the lower third of your face, preserving or rebuilding oral bone can help to preserve your appearance through time.
If you have experienced bone loss anywhere in your upper or lower jaw, your dentist may recommend treatment that can significantly slow or even repair that oral bone loss. There is a wide variety of options available to patients who suffer from bone loss.
