Some people think, for one or two teeth missing, it’s OK and we don’t need to worry about it. However, missing teeth not only do harm to teeth healthy but also have influence on appearance. Restoration treatment must be proceed to avoid unfavorable impacts.

Will missing teeth lead to face deformation?

Missing teeth for a long time will lead to face deformation and will affect pronunciation for a certain degree. What’s more, patient without filling for the missing teeth for a long time looks older than peers. Missing teeth without repairing not only have effect on face appearance, but also have effect on daily life and teeth healthy:

Dentition integrity has been broken. Neighbor teeth around the missing teeth will lean because of losing dependent and constraint, which easy to cause chewing function disorder.

‍Atrophy of alveolar bone. After teeth missed, the physiological stimulation of normal bite force to the alveolar bone will no longer exist.  Disuse atrophy in the different degrees will take place on the alveolar bone and will bring huge difficulties to the later denture restoration and to maintaining the balance of oral and maxillofacial region.‍

 Masticatory function loss. A series of changes will take place about the remaining teeth after the teeth missed, which leads to the changes of original occlusion relationship. Because the effective area between the remaining teeth decreased, the chewing efficiency will decline.

Food impaction. Normal teeth arrange very closed. While after the neighbor teeth moving, gap between will exist, easy to make food embed into the teeth clearance, causing bad breath, tooth decay and periodontal disease, etc.

Teeth falling out. Because teeth beside the missing teeth can’t acquire its original supporting pressure, they will tilted in the gums and become loose gradually. Parts of teeth will fall out.

Immediate implant is one of the most advanced implants at present. It is used abroad and is suitable for teeth defect, dentition defect and full mouth without teeth.
