Causes

• Loss of tooth from disease, infection or looseness
• Congenitally missing
• Genetics
• Specific dental conditions
• Sports injuries and accidents

Risks of Missing Teeth

Not only are missing teeth an aesthetic problem for some, people are generally unaware of some functional issues that go untreated:

• Increased tooth decay and gum disease – there is increased difficulty to keep teeth between the gap clean 
• Difficulty chewing and digestive issues – the way that the teeth are touching together may disable you from effective chewing 
• Teeth moving to fill in the gap and change in your bite – as the bone density decreases your facial structure may change making you appear older
• Excess wear on the teeth, jaw muscles and joints – you may suffer from jaw strain, headaches, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) or cracked teeth

You don’t have to live life with single or multiple missing teeth. Thankfully, modern dentistry paved the way for multiple treatment options to help restore your dental health! A consultation at Your Dentistree Mornington about your aesthetic goals, budget, and timeline will help you decide what option is best for you. The treatment options may include:
