“It’s just one tooth… I’ll be fine, right?”
Do you ever think this and leave a missing tooth untreated?
In reality, leaving a tooth missing can affect not only your oral health but also your overall health and quality of life.
❗ Possible Changes Caused by Missing Teeth
Bite Misalignment
Neighboring teeth may tilt into the empty space, and the opposing tooth may over-erupt, disrupting the alignment of your entire bite.
This can put stress on the jaw joint, sometimes leading to jaw pain or headaches.
Reduced Chewing Function
When you can’t chew properly, your food choices become limited, leading to nutritional imbalance.
This can also put extra strain on your digestive system and negatively impact your overall health.
Speech Difficulties
Missing front teeth can especially affect the pronunciation of sounds like “S” and “T.”
This may cause a lack of confidence in conversations or public speaking, resulting in psychological stress.
Jawbone Loss and Facial Changes
The bone in the missing tooth area receives no stimulation and gradually resorbs.
As a result, the mouth may appear sunken, and deeper nasolabial folds can make the face look older.
💡 Benefits of Dental Implant Treatment
A dental implant involves placing an artificial tooth root (made of titanium) into the jawbone and attaching a prosthetic tooth on top.
Often called a “second permanent tooth,” it restores function and appearance close to that of natural teeth.
