Replace Missing Teeth

By nature our mouth, jaw and our body has developed together over a million of years. All our body parts are designed to operate together at peak efficiency. When we lose any of our tooth, the efficiency decreases and function suffers at the missing or lost tooth space side.

When we lose a tooth, we lose some ability to chew food properly from the affected side. This may mean that you either place more stress on the other teeth in order to chew all the food you eat, or you do not chew well enough and what is swallowed is not quite ready to be digested. This can lead to digestive difficulty. You might have to eliminate certain favorite foods because you cannot chew them thoroughly.

For each missing tooth, you lose approximately 10 to 15 % of your remaining ability to chew food.

Other problems also occur. The teeth adjacent to the space left by the missing tooth will eventually shift.  If for example, a lower tooth is extracted, the opposing tooth in the upper jaw will grow slowly (or sometimes quickly) longer in a downward direction into the missing tooth space. This is called extrusion or super-eruption. Here is an example:

Here is an example: The tooth in the front of the missing tooth space will move backwards in the open space and the tooth at the back will drift towards the front open space – this movement will make spaces in between these teeth which will be hard to clean and food will get stored there which eventually will lead to dental carries and gum disease at this point. Root surfaces of these teeth also will get exposed and can lead to root surface carries as well….

There are a few other major problems which can occur if there are multiple teeth that has been lost  -- there will be loss of Arch length, the distance from the back of the last tooth on one side of your jaw bone to the last tooth on the other side.

With collapsed bite and loss of vertical dimension, the distance from your chin to the tip of your nose decreases, making your face shorter……

There can also be severe cosmetic problems when the extracted tooth’s space is visible when you talk or smile. This is not a pretty sight to anyone.

There will be a loss in self-image and self-esteem and a feeling of that you are getting older. Once you start losing your teeth, you can actually start to look old. Losing a tooth is pretty serious. The longer you wait after a tooth is extracted, the more difficult and expensive it will become to make the replacement you need. With very few exceptions, it is better to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. Evolution designed you to chew your food with 28 teeth.

We will be very happy to discuss with you the best type of dental replacement that will restore your mouth to health. My office is located in East Delhi in India.

You can choose to do nothing at all and leave the space or spaces…this is not usually recommended.

You can have a fixed replacement made that could be done with help of Immediate Loading Immediate Function dental implant treatment or a Conventional Dental Bridge or removable Dentures or with combination of implants and bridges. The advantages of the fixed replacements are that they are not designed to come out of your mouth at any time, they are the easiest to live with, feel more like the original teeth, and are more cosmetic than removable dentures.

A removable partial denture is held in place by metal clasps that may be visible. It is bulkier and may interfere with your speech for a period of time. However, generally, dentures cost less than a fixed replacement.

Your jawbone and teeth were meant to function in a particular fashion. The interaction is complex and marvelous. Loss of teeth degrades this function. Preserve your health. Replace missing teeth as soon as possible!
