TO REPLACE
MISSING TEETH
WHY IT IS
IMPORTANT
People lose their teeth for a variety
of reasons.
You might have knocked an adult
tooth out when you were younger,
and didn’t get the chance
to replace it.
Or, you might be facing deep decay
as an aging adult.
Gum disease can also lead
to tooth loss.
After having an extraction,
you may not be looking forward
to another dental procedure
and so consider putting off replacing
a tooth if it isn’t in your smile zone.
But choosing to replace any missing
teeth provides long-lasting benefits.
Stop Your
Other Teeth
From Shifting
Out of Place
Teeth are held in place by stretchy
ligaments and your gums.
When a tooth is lost, your teeth
will naturally begin to shift to fill
in the gap.
This can cause undesirable changes
in your appearance.
The shifting can also alter your bite
and lead to issues such as TMJ
that require further treatment.
Teeth that shift too far out of place
can also make brushing and flossing
more difficult.
Filling in that gap can prevent
you from developing new areas
of tooth decay.

Your tongue touches your teeth
in specific ways as you talk.
Without a tooth in place,
you may find it harder
to produce the correct sounds.
Putting in a bridge or dental implant
can restore your ability to
speak properly.
The same type of problem happens
when you try to eat.
Without a tooth there, the food can
hit your gums and cause irritation.
You may also find it hard to chew
your food, especially if you have
multiple missing teeth.
After tooth replacement, you’ll be
able to eat your favorite foods again.
Maintain Your
Appearance
Your teeth shape the lower part
of your face.
You can see this effect if you look
at before and after pictures
of people who get braces.
You might have also noticed that
people with a full set of missing teeth
tend to have a caved in appearance
