• The adjacent teeth begin to tilt towards the lost tooth, resulting in gaps between the teeth and a misaligned bite.
  • If the lost tooth is in the lower jaw, the upper jaw tooth starts to pull out.
  • The jawbone does not receive the biting load as it did before, so it starts to shrink in volume.
  • Difficulty chewing food causes discomfort.
  • Over time, the shape of the face changes due to improper bite and bone loss, and the facial features age more quickly.

In our clinic, we offer the primary solution to replace missing teeth with dental implants, but other solutions are also possible, such as fixed (bridge) and removable (dentures) constructions.
