When you are missing teeth, the most obvious ramification is in your facial appearance. Not only will your smile be affected by the gaps from missing teeth, but if you’re missing too many, the skin around your mouth won’t be supported properly and will begin to sag, making you appear older than you are. If you are embarrassed by missing teeth, our doctors at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania have many tooth-replacement options to restore your smile and your confidence.
In addition to changing the aesthetics of your face, missing teeth can make it more difficult to chew your food properly and may even affect the way you speak. As bone loses width, it loses height, and because of this, gum tissue gradually decreases. Ultimately, the more teeth that are lost, the more function declines.
If you have missing teeth and would like to discuss your treatment options, please give us a call.
