One of the most common dental problems is missing teeth. There can be many reasons for this, including damage from trauma like sports injuries and accidents, normal wear, and poor nutrition.
Missing teeth can cause a host of dental issues, such as loss of jaw bone, impaired function, speech issues, and aesthetic concerns from a change in facial contour. It’s important to consult your dentist about the impact missing teeth may have in your specific case, in order to properly address your treatment options such as dental implants or bridges.
