On occasion, some people might find the teeth in their jaws to ultimately be lacking—literally. When done by professionals such as Dr. Domenick Coletti, “death” or the atrophy of the surrounding jawbone and a myriad of other problems can be avoided through the use of dental implants. Today, implants can offer the necessary structural support sought by people affected by tooth loss and can support not only replacement teeth but also dentures.
While many assume dental implants to be a purely cosmetic affair, the complications that arise from an insufficient set of teeth can have adverse effects on both a person’s wellbeing and the overall integrity of the jawbones. Among the complications include the jaw’s tendency to fill in the space with new teeth, which can cause problems regarding dental hygiene. In addition, people affected by tooth loss may find it difficult to chew, which may lead to dietary defects.

Moreover, specialists like Dr. Domenick Coletti say that death of the surrounding bone cells may result due to lack of use, causing atrophy of the jawbone. By the time action is taken, there might not be enough bone material for future implants to take place, thus necessitating a bone graft.
Seeking dental implants early on is a wise decision because it can prevent further complications. Bone grafts, on the other hand, can be sought to first reverse the effects of atrophy.
