As we age, our teeth lose their whiteness , fullness and shape. There is wearing of tooth surfaces , tooth loss and therefore a resorption of the alveolar ridge ( part of the jawbone where teeth are placed).

The loss and change of shape of teeth leads to visible changes in our faces, like the reduction of the lower third of the face, reduction in the fullness of the lips , lowering in the corners of the mouth , and deepening of the nasolabial wrinkles and marionette wrinkles (a wrinkle that begin from the corners of the mouth and leads to the chin).

Loss of teeth and their function leads to distortions in chewing function, this causes problems in the temporomandibular joint, like crackling, pain and gastrointestinal problems because of bad digestion.

With aging our skin loses hyaluron and collagen, elasticity and firmness, there is also a loss of fat cells located under the skin, thus the skin loses ability to rehydrate, this leads to the formation of wrinkles which become deeper and deeper over time, and relax the supporting tissue of the skin.
