Do you think it is not important to replace a lost tooth? We show you here that it is

If you have lost a tooth you may think that there are no complications due to its absence and you do not feel the need to replace it; but complications may arise in the medium term. The oral cavity works like a system of gears, in which when there is the absence of a dental piece, everything begins to alter not only aesthetically, but also functionally.

The teeth neighboring this empty space that were previously distributing chewing loads equally, begin to move towards this space, receiving chewing loads in incorrect positions and forces. Not only the teeth on the sides are affected but also the antagonist teeth or the teeth with which they collide for chewing, these begin to move vertically since having an empty space they migrate towards it to look for that contact they had before, thus causing problems in the jaw joint called temporomandibular joint because they begin to bite in a way that is not correct or normal for the jaw.

The absence of teeth could cause problems in digestion, since inadequate and insufficient chewing of food affects the digestive process.

In the space with dental absence, bone resorption begins to occur, that is to say, the bone is lost since the chewing stimulus is no longer exerted on it, likewise the cheeks commonly known as cheeks lose support, so they start to sink producing an appearance of greater old age to the person.

It is therefore important to restore this empty space by means of a fixed prosthesis such as a dental implant that not only restores the form and function of the tooth, but also avoids bone loss and loss of facial fullness.
