What causes missing teeth?

Severe decay & damage

Untreated tooth decay will eventually necessitate a root canal or an extraction. Other dental damage like Excessive wear, Cracks, and chips can compromise the integrity of your tooth.

Periodontal disease

Gum disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss. Without proper oral hygiene, bacteria will slowly eat away at and damage your jaw bone, causing your teeth to become loose or fall out completely.

Accidents

A lost tooth is usually the result of a dental health issue, but it could also be caused by mishaps like slips and falls, car collisions, contact sports, and other impact injuries.

Are missing teeth bad?

In rare situations, replacing a tooth may not be necessary. For example, you may have had a tooth removed to address a crowded, misaligned smile. Wisdom teeth are also often removed to improve your health and lifestyle.

However, in most cases, a missing tooth is a problem that must be addressed.

The jaw bone beneath your missing tooth will begin to wear away, increasing your risk of losing even more teeth.
Neighboring teeth may begin to shift and reposition.
The rest of your teeth become weaker, leading to chips and cracks.
You’ll be at increased risk of gum disease.
You may have trouble eating and speaking normally and comfortably.
