A member asked:
My dentist & oral surgeon recommended the all-on-4 dental implant procedure for my bottom teeth. can this change the shape of my jaw/facial structure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The implants will not alter your jaw/facial structure. The dentures that rest on the implants will return your face top it's natural shape. Best person to talk to about this is your Dentist.
