Yes—Your Jawbone Can Shrink After Losing a Tooth

awbone loss can happen after losing a permanent tooth because the bone no longer gets stimulation from chewing. Over time, the body reabsorbs that unused bone, causing the jaw to shrink and weaken. Dental implants help prevent this by replacing the tooth root and restoring stimulation, while dental bridges offer a less invasive, more affordable option—though with less bone protection. 👉 Join Viz Medical for early access + custom emojis: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPAtCitq_7Al95AWv5yMAwg/join #DentalImplants #ToothLoss #JawboneLoss #3DMedicalAnimation #MedicalAnimation #PatientEducation #DentalHealth
