Bone loss in edentulous (patients without teeth) continues over time flattening the ridge of the bone. This happens slowly over time and is the reason why many denture patients need a reline of their denture as the denture becomes more loose. Real problems occur after a long period of time as the ridge flattens out and makes it very difficult for retention of denture. In some cases, it can almost be debilitating for patients.
Dental Implants can be an answer to this. A dental implant not only can help keep the dentures from moving, but they can help preserve the bony ridge which supports the denture.
