Why Replacing Missing Teeth Early Matters More Than You Think
The Hidden Effects of Ignoring Tooth Loss
Many people delay treatment after losing a tooth, believing it’s “not urgent.” However, untreated tooth loss triggers a chain reaction inside your mouth.
What Happens When a Tooth Is Missing:
• The surrounding bone begins to shrink within months
• Adjacent teeth drift into the empty space
• Your bite becomes misaligned, causing pain or TMJ issues
• Facial structure gradually collapses, giving a sunken look
• Your chewing ability declines, affecting digestion
Dental implants stop this progression immediately by preserving bone and stabilizing your bite.
Visit our clinic, Star Dental Institute, for an early implant evaluation and protect your smile before complications develop.
