Bone can be lost due to denture wearing, gum disease, injury or tooth loss. 

The result of bone loss is a degrading of the natural contours of the jaw and chin, diminishing facial fullness and resulting in an altering of your appearance. Teeth can also become loose due to gum disease, making it difficult to eat, and facial features may start to sink. Bone-grafting procedures will help rebuild your jaw for dental implants and at times around salvageable teeth to restore a healthy smile.
