I Have Missing Teeth

Why do I need to replace a lost tooth?

Having missing teeth doesn’t seem like a big deal on the surface, but even a single missing tooth can create big problems in the future. Missing teeth can affect your nutrition and general health. Digestion starts in your mouth, and when you are missing teeth, chewing function declines. Missing teeth can affect your mental health and enjoyment in life. Missing teeth may decrease your lifespan. Your jaw bone can shrink, affecting your appearance and decreasing the amount of available bone for future tooth replacement. The adjacent teeth can move into the site of the missing tooth and block out the ability to replace the missing tooth easily.
