When do I start losing bone?

As soon as a tooth is lost, either from gum disease or from a surgical procedure, the supporting bone starts to melt awdentureprofile.jpgay. This bone is part of your jaw. About 40-60% of the bone is lost from the area where a tooth was extracted within the first two years. Even worse, the remaining bone also become less "dense" and subsequently less able to hold implants.
