  1. What Happens If You Don’t Get Dental Implants? If you’re missing teeth and choose not to get dental implants frisco , the consequences go beyond just aesthetics. Over time, missing teeth can lead to oral health issues, bone loss, and difficulty chewing. Here’s what happens when you leave the gap unfilled:

  2. 1. Bone Loss (Jawbone Deterioration) Teeth provide stimulation to the jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the bone in that area starts to shrink and deteriorate due to lack of use. Over time, this can cause facial sagging and premature aging. 2. Shifting of Nearby Teeth Your teeth naturally support each other. When one is missing, the neighboring teeth begin to shift into the empty space, leading to: •Crooked or misaligned teeth •Bite problems (malocclusion) •Increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease 3. Difficulty Chewing & Speaking Missing teeth can make it harder to chew properly, limiting your diet and nutrition. It can also impact speech, leading to slurred words or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds. 4. Increased Risk of Additional Tooth Loss A missing tooth puts extra pressure on the remaining teeth, increasing their wear and tears. This can make them more vulnerable to fractures or loss over time. 5. Changes in Facial Appearance When multiple teeth are missing, the jawbone shrinks, causing sunken cheeks and a collapsed facial structure, making you look older.

  3. 6. TMJ Issues & Jaw Pain Misaligned teeth and improper chewing can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. Conclusion: Ignoring missing teeth can lead to serious oral health issues, affecting both function and appearance.
