If you are missing one or more teeth or are bothered by dentures or partials that slip, dental implants may be right for you! Besides the obvious cosmetic inconvenience of missing teeth, additional oral and general health problems may result when teeth are not replaced. Missing teeth can result in "tooth extrusion" or movement of another tooth into the empty space. Shifting or movement of adjacent teeth that occurs when tooth roots are not present may require additional orthodontic treatment to correct. Because of the misalignment that occurs due to shifting of teeth, the teeth may be more susceptible to decay and gum disease, eventually causing more tooth loss. Missing teeth can also decrease chewing ability and may also affect speech.
