A healthy and confident smile is an essential part of your personality. If you have missing or badly broken down teeth, then dentures can be a way of replacing them. If these are not replaced on time, it can lead to various oral health issues like shifting of adjacent teeth, bone loss, bite problems, and compromised oral function and aesthetics. So, it is essential to replace missing teeth. A great alternative to missing and damaged teeth is dentures. These are removable and natural-looking replacements that can last for a long time and restore function and aesthetics to your mouth.
Patients who have missing teeth or decayed teeth that can’t be saved should replace them on time. Not doing so can lead to severe consequences. Firstly, the teeth adjacent to the space will slowly shift or tilt into the gap left by the missing tooth, leading to bite problems and misalignment. Secondly, the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth can start to wear off, causing bone loss, bite problems, and changes in how the person looks. In addition, the adjacent teeth can start to suffer from wear and tear because of increased pressure on them while chewing or biting. Overall, damage will be caused to the oral function and aesthetics.
