@miyutorontoIf a tooth is lost and not replaced, the jaw bone experiences progressive resorption due to the lack of mechanical stimulation from biting and chewing forces, which are needed to preserve bone density and volume. This process leads to atrophy and a sunken appearance.

Three side-by-side profile views of a woman's face show progressive jaw bone resorption from healthy to severe atrophy after tooth loss. Below, illustrated cross-sections of the jaw and teeth depict full teeth transitioning to gaps marked with X's and red downward arrows indicating bone loss. Bold text overlays label stages like "Healthy jaw and teeth," "Progressive bone loss after tooth loss," and "Severe bone atrophy." Clinical diagram style with pink gums, yellow bone, and explanatory captions on downward pressure effects. The drastic shrinking of the jawline in the final image stands out sharply.
