Why Replace Missing Teeth?

A missing tooth, or several missing teeth, have many effects on your oral and overall health. When a tooth is lost, the missing tooth root no longer stimulates healthy bone growth in the jaw where the tooth used to be. This affects the shape of the jaw over time as remaining teeth begin to shift and fill the void if left untreated, often leading to changes in the bite and other complex problems. In addition, the changes precipitated by a lost tooth that is not replaced increase the risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Missing teeth can affect your speech and ability to chew certain foods, forcing social and dietary changes that affect your quality of life each day.

Dr. Mazhari emphasizes the importance of proper and prompt tooth replacement to avoid the development of additional dental problems and to ensure the ability to choose from a range of tooth replacement options. If left untreated for too long and in the presence of complex concerns, your replacement options, such as dental implants, may become limited and less appealing.
