What Happens if I Do Nothing?
Even if your absent teeth aren’t causing you any major problems right now, they definitely will in the future. After a tooth goes missing, the nearby jawbone starts to shrink and atrophy, causing the neighboring teeth to drift into the gap. This can throw off the bite, lead to excessive tooth wear, and even create chronic jaw pain among many other unpleasant symptoms. Rather than waiting and suffering later, it’s best to replace any missing teeth NOW so you can save yourself the physical and financial headaches.
