Tooth loss creates several potential problems that you will have to endure if you ignore your need for a prosthetic. Your biting and chewing functions will be negatively affected, and this can lead to TMJ problems, as well as an excessive degree of wear and tear on teeth. Any tooth neighboring a gap left by tooth loss will face a greater risk for being lost, too. By placing a dental bridge, you regain your ability to bite and chew more naturally, and you reduce your risk for additional tooth loss. Because your bridge can match the look of your natural teeth, you will be able to regain confidence in your smile.
Replacing a missing tooth can help you avoid further tooth loss. You can also protect yourself by improving your preventive dental care, and taking care to watch for signs of gum disease. Gum disease causes more tooth loss than any other issue for adults – if you see symptoms of it, let your dentist know before it has the opportunity to worsen.
