Missing teeth
Missing teeth don’t just affect your smile. They can harm your oral health and overall well-being. Whether due to poor oral hygiene, genetics, or other factors, untreated missing teeth can lead to serious issues.​
​
Key concerns of missing teeth:
-
Self-esteem: gaps in your smile can cause embarrassment, affecting confidence and social interactions.
-
Bite and jaw problems: missing teeth cause neighbouring teeth to shift, altering your bite and placing uneven pressure on your jaw.
-
Bone loss: without a tooth, the jawbone shrinks over time, limiting future treatment options.
-
Tooth decay and gum disease: shifting teeth create hard-to-clean gaps, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease.
