Posterior Tooth Loss
 |
When all of your posterior teeth are missing, the back of your mouth actually collapses as the bone deteriorates. The teeth in the front of your mouth begin to flare out as the bite collapses and the corners of your mouth droop. Your appearance begins to change as the height of the jaw decreases. |
|
If your posterior teeth are replaced with a partial denture, the bone resorption process is accelerated as the partial presses down on the gums and underlying bone as you eat. Replacing your posterior teeth with implant supported bridges preserves the bone, preventing the bone deterioration that leads to bite collapse, which occurs when teeth are missing.
