Everything You Need To Know Before Getting Braces Veneers – The Secret To A Prettier Smile Teeth Removal and Replacement You never know what a blessing a full set of teeth in your mouth is until you start losing them. All adults go through two sets of teeth in their lifetime. One is the set of deciduous teeth that we lose as children, to give way for the more permanent set of adult teeth. Adult teeth are generally very strong and are expected to last a person a lifetime. However, diseases and accidents may cause adults to lose their teeth, leaving behind an obvious gap in your teeth. Your immediate concern may merely be that the gaping hole does not look nice; the fact is that missing teeth can often have more serious consequences than the aesthetics. Problems of Missing Teeth You might never have thought of how a missing tooth can give rise to so many other complications. Here is a list of possible issues that may arise as a result of your missing tooth.

2. Difficulty Chewing The primary purpose of your teeth is to chew. No tooth in your mouth is unnecessary; they all have different roles to play. Multiple teeth loss may result in you having difficulty biting, chewing food. Eventually, you might have to give up on certain foods that are difficult to eat. Speech Issues Teeth also help us shape words and form sounds. Without them, people are unable to pronounce words and the alphabet as accurately as before, making their speech impeded. Premature Signs of Aging With lesser teeth inside to support the structure of your mouth, the skin around your mouth may become saggy and start to droop inwards. The loose skin may also give birth to premature wrinkles, making you look twice your age. Teeth Shifting When teeth have excess room, they shift and grow. IF you have some teeth missing, the neighboring teeth may start to move into the empty space, making your teeth misaligned, crooked and crowded. This can have serious implications on the appearance of your smile, your bite alignment, and a greater risk of tooth decay. Psychological Damage It is difficult to stay confident and upbeat when there is a hole in your smile. Many people suffer from depression and low self- esteem because of how bad missing teeth look. Solutions to Missing Teeth Though no new teeth will grow naturally in the place of your fallen missing teeth, there are plenty of options for you to fill up space and make it look as natural as possible. Dental Implants Dental implants look, feel, and function just as your natural teeth do. They are a possible solution to one missing tooth or a set of missing teeth. They are sturdy, long-lasting, and are the best solution for missing teeth. Dentures Dentures are a possible option too, but not nearly as good, long- lasting, or ideal as implants are. Dentures are generally used when implants are not an option. Of course, your dentist can guide you better about what kind of solution you should opt for to prevent any problems arising from the missing teeth.
