pertinent to your health to replace them<\/a>. Besides making embarrassing holes in your smile, missing teeth can severely affect the rest of your dental and mental health. Let\u2019s look at which dangers you are facing by missing one or more key components of your smile.<\/p>\nYour jawbone density can deteriorate.<\/h3>\n
One danger of missing teeth is bone loss. This doesn\u2019t just take place where the tooth once was, but it extends to other areas, putting your other teeth at risk for tooth loss. Missing teeth can cause an unhealthy jawbone and will eventually lead to an aging facial appearance.<\/p>\n
Your smile may start to shift.<\/h3>\n
When there\u2019s a hole in your smile, the remaining teeth will shift overtime. Your remaining teeth could become crooked or overlapping, making it more difficult to clean. This could lead to tooth decay, cavities, or even dental diseases. Your bite could also change and you may need assistance from an orthodontic treatment to realign your teeth.<\/p>\n
You will have to change your eating habits.<\/h3>\n
The loss of even a single tooth can greatly affect your eating habits. Patients dealing with these problems tend to eat easily chewable, digestible, and high-processed foods. Basically, you\u2019re more at risk for food-induced health diseases because these foods are lower in nutritional value.<\/p>\n
Your confidence could suffer.<\/h3>\n
Sometimes, some patients experience difficulties just speaking normally, especially if they are missing a front tooth. This can negatively affect how you feel about yourself and your ability to present yourself confidently.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Understanding Dentures or Partial Dentures<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019ve lost more than just a few teeth, finding a fitting tooth replacement is probably top on your priority list. But you may not consider them a viable option if you\u2019re not one of our mature patients. Although our older patients tend to make perfect candidates for this type of dental restoration, dentures can also benefit a lot of other patients as well. Dentures are a terrific way to replace several teeth or even a whole row. Let\u2019s take a look at both types of prosthetics to see which is better for you.<\/p>\n
Full (complete) dentures<\/h3>\n
A full set of dentures are prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base. These can be used to restore your ability to speak clearly, eat the foods you enjoy, and smile with confidence again. These dentures are ideal for major tooth loss.<\/p>\n
Partial dentures<\/h3>\n
Partial dentures are used to fill the spaces in your smile. If you have missing teeth in different areas of your mouth, a partial denture can be created like the perfect fitting puzzle piece to complete your smile. There are different options for how your partial dentures can be placed to be removable or attached permanently.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to be considered when your dentist works to reverse the effects of your debilitated smile from severe tooth loss. We chose to use the word \u201cdebilitated\u201d because not only have you lost the function of your smile, but your appearance has probably been compromised both inside and outside of your mouth. You can tell when patients are missing an extensive amount of teeth by their sunken facial structure.<\/p>\n
