What problems can be caused by tooth loss and non-replacement?
Aesthetics
The loss of one or more teeth always affects the aesthetics of the face. This is also the case where the missing teeth are in the back of the mouth and are not visible when smiling.
Mastication
In the process of chopping and grinding food, each tooth plays a distinct and special role. This results in even the loss of just one tooth to cause movement to the other teeth and as a result the food is swallowed without being properly chewed.
Speech
The loss of even a small number of teeth always affects speech.
In jaw malocclusion and function.
In a full and normal denture, the upper teeth lean down in a harmonious manner and work together in the different movements of the mouth. But when one or more teeth are extracted, the whole balance is disrupted
