Devastating Effects of Tooth Loss
When teeth are lost, it is important to fill the space with a restoration. For one thing, surrounding teeth can drift into the open spaces. Tooth movement into open spaces can cause occlusal bite problems. Also, opposing teeth can supra erupt into the open spaces.
Consequently, esthetic problems will gradually become worse. The natural teeth that move into open spaces can become hard to clean, causing periodontal issues. As a result, your risk of tooth decay increase, which can lead to more tooth loss.
