Facial Collapse Treatment Lafayette, LA

Facial collapse occurs when you have been missing teeth for an extended period of time, usually around 10 to 20 years. Over time, your body begins to resorb the bone that once supported your teeth, and your jawbone shrinks significantly. Facial collapse can drastically alter both the appearance of your face and the overall function of your smile. It can make patients appear to be much older than they are, and many people struggling with this condition avoid social situations.

Since facial collapse causes the jawbone to shrink, it can be difficult to nearly impossible for someone with facial collapse to wear dentures, as there is very little bone for it to rest on. As the condition worsens, it may become impossible for the patient to chew or eat normally, which can affect their overall health.

If our dentists and team determine facial collapse is likely for you, we may recommend dental implants to support your smile and prevent the condition from becoming serious. If you are already suffering from facial collapse, then surgery, such as bone grafting, may be necessary to restore the health of your smile.

If you have any questions about facial collapse in Lafayette, Louisiana, or would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ashley Price or Dr. Chelsea Guilliot, please call Price & Associates Family Dentistry today at 337-988-4041!

  One of the best experiences I’ve had at the dentist. The hygienist was very gentle, the assistant was very patient and Dr. Guilliot was very knowledgeable and kind. Glad I decided to visit their practice.

  Price and all her staff are as about perfect a dentist office as you could ever envision!  They even have a menu for any comfort you can think of while there, like massaging eye mask, vibrating pillow, even offer nitrous oxcide if you desire.  All professional in a super clean, with the latest technology and did I mention the staff, so professional!  Can you tell I like going to the dentist?  I'm 55 and look forward to getting my teeth checked out twice a year!!!  Thank you all, I appreciate the care you have given me over the years, and got me looking great! Highly recommended!!!
