The Consequences of a Missing Tooth

  • Bone Loss: The jawbone shrinks where the tooth root is no longer present to stimulate it.
  • Drifting Teeth: Adjacent teeth can tilt or drift into the empty space, causing bite problems.
  • Super-Eruption: The opposing tooth can grow down (or up) into the gap, affecting alignment.
  • Difficulty Chewing: Losing a key tooth, like a molar, can impair your ability to chew properly.
  • Aesthetic Changes: Bone loss can eventually lead to changes in your facial structure.
