A recent survey conducted by Nobel Biocare of more than 50,000 U.S. adults came to a startling conclusion: half of those surveyed were missing at least one or more teeth, indicating a rise in tooth loss. However in the survey, only one in three respondents was aware that the effect of tooth loss was more than aesthetic and can actually damage facial shape. Just 25 percent knew that tooth loss causes bone erosion, which can eventually lead to a sunken or dropping jaw. Fortunetley, dental implants are more than just a cosmetic fix for tooth loss. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, implants can help avoid the effects of bone erosion. (Taken from the August 2009 issue of AGDImplact).
