Don’t underestimate the value of every tooth in terms of beauty - even those in the back of the mouth. Although the spaces created by these missing teeth may not be visible, they can cause a variety of problems.
For example, chewing forces may shift to other surfaces, causing the front teeth to flare out and create unwanted spaces. An altered bite can also cause the collapse of facial features. The more teeth that are lost and not replaced, the greater the odds that wrinkles and lines will form, causing premature and unnecessary aging.
If you are missing a tooth, there are three ways it can be replaced: a fixed bridge, a denture or an implant. Depending on your circumstances, each can be successful.
