Your teeth are important, and the loss of any of them can have significant consequences if not replaced. It not only affects your appearance and confidence, but can have an impact on your overall oral and general health too.
A missing tooth, or multiple missing teeth, can significantly affect the way you eat, speak and feel. A gap can cause your facial shape to lose structure, as your gum can shrink and remaining teeth move over time. This can have an effect on your appearance, making your face look older, with sagging and increased wrinkles present.
A missing tooth also means the gum and jawbone in the gap are no longer stimulated. They start to weaken and deteriorate, causing neighbouring teeth to lose support and potentially fall out too. The longer a gap is left, the more significant the damage to the jawbone, which could affect future restorative treatment.
