Problems that Can Result from Missing Teeth
Most people seem to think that having a missing tooth is no big deal, other than detracting from the appearance of your smile. But even one absent tooth in your dental arch can cause other problems. A full set of teeth provides proper chewing and helps obtain the most nutrients from your food. If chewing natural foods becomes difficult, softer, higher-calorie foods may be eaten more often, which may lead to weight gain. Your smile becomes less attractive with missing teeth, and with many or certain missing teeth and the resultant loss of bone, your face will start to sag and make you look older than you really are. Speech can be affected, which can cause embarrassing moments when speaking. We can take care of and prevent these problems with dental implants. They can be permanently inserted in the back or front of your mouth. They look natural and function like real teeth to let you eat whatever foods you enjoy most.
