At Farhoumand Dentistry, we understand the importance of replacing missing teeth to maintain your oral health and overall well-being. When teeth are missing, it can lead to a range of complications, including jaw bone loss, misalignment of remaining teeth, and changes in facial structure. It’s essential to replace missing teeth as soon as possible to avoid these issues.

Why Consider Dental Implants?

  • Prevent Jaw Bone Loss: Missing teeth can lead to jaw bone loss at the site of the gap. The bone mass is maintained through the stimulation of chewing and biting, so when a tooth is missing, the bone in that area starts to deteriorate—a process called resorption.
  • Avoid Misalignment and Tooth Shifting: The remaining teeth can drift into the gap left by a missing tooth, leading to misalignment and difficulties in biting and chewing. This drifting can also destabilize the roots of neighboring teeth, potentially leading to further tooth loss.
  • Preserve Facial Features: Missing teeth can alter your facial appearance, causing sunken cheeks and wrinkles around the mouth. Replacing missing teeth helps maintain your facial structure and appearance.
  • Prevent Chronic Headaches: Missing teeth can cause other teeth to over-erupt, leading to gum and facial pain, and eventually, chronic headaches due to stress on the jaw joint (TMJ).
  • Ensure Proper Speech: Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain words correctly, sometimes causing a whistling sound during speech.
  • Maintain Proper Nutrition: Difficulty in biting and chewing due to missing teeth can lead to inadequate nutrition, as you may eat less or choose softer foods that don’t provide all the necessary nutrients.
