Dental Implants » Reasons to Replace Missing Teeth




Reason 1 : Drift & Overeruption


When a tooth is missing, drift and overeruption can take place. Food traps are created and can lead to a build up of plaque. If these teeth are not kept clean, this will cause dental decay, resulting in loss of further teeth.










Reason 2 : Bone Changes after Extraction


When teeth have been missing for some time, the bone and gums can begin to change shape. This can affect surrounding teeth.









Reason 3 : Ridge Preservation


Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede. If you later decide to have an Implant fitted this bone recession may mean that the Implant would sit too high or the Crown would sit too low for your 'bite'. A material can be inserted into the cavity to encourage bone re-growth. Over time, this will provide a sufficient amount of bone to support the Implant.
