Dental Implants and Facial Aging: How Tooth Loss Changes Your Appearance
Tooth loss affects more than your smile — it can subtly change the shape of your face over time.
Many people are surprised to learn that missing teeth contribute to premature aging.
How Tooth Loss Impacts Facial Structure
Your teeth and jawbone provide support for facial muscles. When a tooth is missing and bone
loss occurs, it can lead to:
● Sunken cheeks
● Thinner lips
● Increased wrinkles around the mouth
● A collapsed facial appearance
Why Dentures Don’t Fully Prevent Aging
While dentures replace visible teeth, they don’t stimulate the jawbone. Bone loss can still
continue beneath them, affecting facial support.
How Dental Implants Help Maintain a Youthful Look
Because implants fuse with the jawbone, they help preserve bone and support facial structure.
This can maintain natural contours and help prevent the “aged” look associated with tooth loss.
Dental implants don’t just restore your smile — they help preserve the way you look and feel.
