Why It Is Important to Replace Missing Teeth

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
TO REPLACE MISSING TEETH
2
People lose their teeth for a variety of reasons.
You might have knocked an adult tooth out when
you were younger, and didnt get the chance to
replace it.
3
Or, you might be facing deep decay as an aging
adult. Gum disease can also lead to tooth
loss.
4
After having an extraction, you may not be
looking forward to another dental procedure and
so consider putting off replacing a tooth if it
isnt in your smile zone.
5
But choosing to replace any missing teeth
provides long-lasting benefits.
6
Stop Your Other Teeth From Shifting Out of
Place
7
Teeth are held in place by stretchy ligaments and
your gums. When a tooth is lost, your teeth
will naturally begin to shift to fill in the
gap.
8
This can cause undesirable changes in your
appearance. The shifting can also alter your
bite and lead to issues such as TMJ that require
further treatment.
9
Teeth that shift too far out of place can also
make brushing and flossing more difficult.
Filling in that gap can prevent you from
developing new areas of tooth decay.
10
Continue to Speak and Eat Normally
11
That cute little lisp kids get when they lose
their two front teeth isnt so fun when youre an
adult. Your tongue touches your teeth in
specific ways as you talk.
12
Without a tooth in place, you may find it harder
to produce the correct sounds. Putting in a
bridge or dental implant can restore your ability
to speak properly.
13
The same type of problem happens when you try to
eat. Without a tooth there, the food can hit
your gums and cause irritation.
14
You may also find it hard to chew your food,
especially if you have multiple missing teeth.
After tooth replacement, youll be able to eat
your favorite foods again.
15
Maintain Your Appearance
16
Your teeth shape the lower part of your face.
You can see this effect if you look at before
and after pictures of people who get braces.
17
You might have also noticed that people with a
full set of missing teeth tend to have a caved in
appearance around their mouth. This can happen
due to bone loss in your jaw.
18
Your lips and cheeks also fall inward without
your teeth being there to hold them up. Each
type of tooth replacement option helps to support
your lips and cheeks.
19
Dental implants have posts that stimulate your
jaw bone like natural teeth do. Over time, you
can expect to see fewer signs of aging by
replacing your teeth than youll see with gaps.
20
Step Outside With Confidence
21
Having a full set of teeth has a range of health
benefits that include being able to eat
nutritious meals. Youll also gain the
opportunity to feel better emotionally.
22
Tooth replacements restore your ability to smile
without feeling embarrassed. Being
self-confident infuses every aspect of your life
with positivity and is worth taking the time to
replace your teeth.
23
Extractions are typically our last resort for
ending pain and infections. If you do have to
lose a tooth, then dont worry.
24
We can offer you several tooth replacement
options to find one that fits your needs.
Although nothing can fully replace a healthy
tooth, modern tooth replacements come extremely
close.
25
Whether you prefer a bridge, dentures or
implants, well create a custom-fit that looks
and feels natural.
