• What Happens If I Don’t Replace My Missing Teeth?

Not replacing a lost tooth can have serious consequences. When a tooth is missing, the teeth around and opposing it may begin to move out of place. The consequences could include crooked teeth and unsightly gaps in your smile.

Additionally, these movements may create gum problems and /or decay and could lead to the loss of other teeth. As you lose more teeth, you will be forced to chew in other areas, and this often leads to tooth fracture from overloading or jaw problems.

If you are missing teeth, contact of us for expert advice on the various options available. As our Practice likes to emphasise, prevention and early treatment is always less involved and less expensive than delaying treatment until the problem becomes more serious.
