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.
