Are you afraid to smile because of a missing
tooth?
A
smile can say a lot about you. Missing teeth can
have a negative impact on how others perceive you.
Missing teeth can affect your ability to get a job
or interact socially. The photo above is of a young
woman that never had a tooth in this space. It was
something she had dealt with her entire life.
Missing teeth are quite common. In the U.S. it is
not uncommon for adults to be missing Seven teeth on
average and almost 10% of adults have no teeth at
all!
Missing teeth alter our ability to chew and function
properly. More force is placed on the existing teeth
which can lead to future problems with your bite and
gums. In some cases this even leads to more tooth
loss. If these teeth are not replaced the
surrounding teeth can tip or collapse into the
space. Teeth support the face and loss of this
support can lead to collapse of the lips and cheeks.
