The Problems of Tooth Loss

So, is it a serious problem to lose a tooth? Yes! Losing even one tooth can cause the remaining teeth to shift and move around, which leads to other problems. This can affect chewing and your ability to retain good food nutrition. Other negative things can happen; your face changes shape, often looking “sunken.” This makes a person look much older than they really are. Your speech can be impacted. Because it’s more difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may find yourself eating softer foods with more carbohydrates, which can lead to weight gain. The best way to replace a missing tooth (or missing teeth) is with dental implants. An implant can replace any number of lost teeth. They can be created to look so natural that even dentists have to look closely to tell the difference. This can improve how you look and feel and bring back or add confidence to the way you live your life. The rewards are immeasurable!
