Preventing the effects of tooth loss with dental implants Melbourne

Tooth loss is often a symptom of poor oral health and avoiding the dentist for long periods of time. The effects of tooth loss are huge and they can affect your overall health, including a significant negative impact on your social and emotional wellbeing. A gap in the mouth can be embarrassing and it can promote self-consciousness, preventing you from being able to smile comfortably in a public situation. By replacing your missing teeth we can help you break that cycle, improve your dental health and allow you to be a much happier person. Tooth loss does not simply affect the site of the missing tooth rather it has a detrimental impact on the surrounding and opposing teeth and this needs to be reviewed with your dentist. When you lose a tooth, either as a result of tooth decay, gum disease or an injury to the mouth, it can affect the structure of your mouth and even the structure of your entire face. The bone and gum support for the surrounding teeth can become impinged on as a result of tissue loss. The teeth often drift into the new space affecting the alignment of your teeth. This affects the appearance of your smile as well as your dental health. The opposing tooth can also begin to ascend or descend into the space known as over eruption, causing further complications. Over time you can be affected by issues with your bite as well as future tooth loss.
