Missing teeth

Dental prosthetics are used when a patient is missing one or multiple teeth.

Missing teeth is a serious dental issue and can lead to many health concerns.

There are multiple reasons why someone may be missing a tooth, including:

• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Injury to the mouth or jaw
• Genetic factors
• Certain illnesses

Why is it important to replace missing teeth?

Missing teeth goes further than just a problem of aesthetics.

When you are missing teeth, you are in danger of developing several serious medical complications such as:

• Jaw clenching and grinding
• Issues speaking and chewing
• Misalignment of remaining teeth
• Instability of neighbouring teeth
• Bone reabsorption

What can I do if I am missing teeth?

If you are already missing teeth, schedule a consultation with a Primadent dentist as soon as possible.

Depending on how many teeth you are missing, as well as the health of your gums and jaw, certain treatments may be better aligned with your needs. The most popular dental solutions for missing teeth are dentures, dental implants, and bridges.
