There are circumstances when your jaw bone may atrophy or deteriorate; for instance, if you experience the loss of one or more teeth, or especially if you are fully edentulous. If there are no teeth implanted in your jaw bone your jaw bone will deteriorate. It is your teeth that keep your jaw bones healthy. When your bone tissue is destroyed, you have no basis for implants, or dentures. In such cases you will probably need a bone graft.
