Anterior Tooth Loss
 |
When you lose a tooth in the front of your mouth, where the bone is very thin, the bone will usually melt away rather quickly, giving the appearance that the bone and gums are caving in, or collapsing. Very often, this defect is visible when smiling. |

If you replace a front tooth with a tooth supported bridge, eventually the replacement tooth looks like a false tooth as the gums and bone above it begin to collapse, leaving the tooth hanging, or suspended without support. When a tooth is replaced with an implant supported crown, the implant functions like a natural tooth root and preserves the bone, preventing the defect in the bone that would normally occur with tooth loss.
