Harmful consequences of not replacing your teeth

The loss of one or more teeth has consequences for our oral health. Here are some examples that demonstrate the importance of replacing a tooth :

• Premature wear of the remaining teeth: Fewer teeth are involved in the chewing process, so the remaining teeth may wear out prematurely as they have to perform the functions of the missing teeth.
• Loss of bone mass: When a tooth is missing, the root of the tooth is no longer present to stimulate the bone in the jaw. This will lead to changes in the physiognomy of the patient’s face.
• Loss of a cosmetic smile: Even though the tooth that has fallen out is not visible in the patient’s smile, the remaining teeth shift and cause misalignment, which affects the aesthetics of the smile.

Replacing one or more missing teeth is important! This helps prevent complications. There are many options and methods available to you to overcome the problem. It all depends on the number of teeth to be replaced, the oral health condition and the budget.
