The Consequences of Missing Teeth

Any Treatment For Missing Teeth Is Much Better Than None!

Did you know that your teeth depend on each other for stability and strength?

When even one of them is missing, it can disrupt the alignment of your smile and weaken the surrounding teeth. Living with missing teeth causes more problems than you may realize. Explore the symptoms of missing teeth and learn why any restoration will improve your smile.

Short-Term Effects of Missing Teeth

Missing teeth will rapidly degrade your appearance if left untreated. Even worse, it can lead to additional problems with your oral health. Some of the most common short term symptoms of missing teeth include:

  • Change in appearance can be stressful
  • Possible difficulty in eating or speaking
  • Surrounding teeth are left vulnerable

Long-Term Effects of Missing Teeth

The initial symptoms of untreated missing teeth may be followed by more over time. From infection to bone loss, far more dangerous conditions await those who don’t seek treatment – these are some of the most common:

  • Jawbone shrinks causing the “sunken-cheeks look”
  • Permanent alteration in the alignment of your teeth
  • Increased risk of gum disease and further tooth loss
