Q. hello dr fahey, do implants lead to further srrinking of the jaw bone and gums or do they help prevent this? it is my two front teeth i need help with as i have worn dentures for a while but they dont really help that well and are loose. thank you and kind regards
A. NO, as long as all underlying disease has been controlled dental implants tend to maintain bone which in turn maintains the gum.
