WHY TO REPLACE MISSING TEETH ?

Have you lost a tooth recently? Or perhaps you’ve had one or more teeth extracted recently due to damage, decay, or gum disease? Regardless of how a missing tooth goes missing, it is important to replace said tooth in a timely manner. Although you may not be worried about replacing missing teeth, especially if they are not immediately visible when you speak or smile, not replacing them can cause serious problems for your remaining teeth. Here are five reasons why you should replace missing teeth

                                                      

PREVENTING OVERGROWTH OF TEETH

When you have gaps left by missing teeth, it can lead to the teeth next to them shifting in an attempt to fill the void. If you have a tooth missing on the bottom, the tooth directly above it may grow longer due to the gap.

 

RETAINING FUNCTION

The primary function of your teeth is to grind and bite. When teeth are missing, it affects your ability to chew correctly. Your teeth also affect your speech, and missing teeth affect how the air flows during speech and can lead to speech impairment.

 

MAINTAINING AN EVEN BITE

To have an even bite, the whole upper and lower jaw must be full of teeth. When teeth are missing and there is a gap, eventually, the teeth will shift to try and fill the void, affecting the way the lower and upper arch meet. If you have an uneven bite, it can cause various issues that affect the jaw and teeth.

 

IMPROVING YOUR SMILE

When you replace your missing teeth, it will improve the aesthetics of your smile. It has been proven that having a pleasant smile that you feel good about has social, emotional, and professional benefits.

 

PREVENTS BONE LOSS

Once a tooth is lost, the jawbone is no longer getting stimulation from chewing, which will result in the body absorbing the bone tissue from the jawbone and using it in other locations. Eventually, the bone loss may cause the shape of your face to change significantly. If you want to prevent this, replacing your missing teeth with dental implants is ideal.

 Options For Replacing Missing Teeth

 

IMPLANTS

Dental implants integrate with your natural bone and are an ideal option. Implants are made from titanium, a biocompatible material and once the implant is secure and fully healed, a prosthetic tooth is attached. Implants are the latest, aesthetic options that do not involve adjacent teeth.

BRIDGES

These are often considered the second best option right behind implants.For a bridge, the two teeth on either side of your missing teeth will receive crowns, and then a fake tooth is added to replace your missing tooth. So it is like a set of joint caps. A bridge is fixed so you don’t have to constantly remove it, which gives it better functionality compared to the removable options.Bridges are also less expensive, and take much less time to complete than dental implants.

 

DENTURES

 In case of multiple missing teeth when implants and bridges cannot be done, Dentures are also a good option

Various types like complete dentures, removable partial dentures, cast partial dentures, Implant supported dentures are available. All have their specific indication which can be explained to you by your Dentist.
