When one or more teeth are missing, the adjacent teeth move and migrate into the available space, resulting in loosening. This migration, combined with the loosening it causes, leads to a dental configuration that is inappropriate for hygiene, causing gingival inflammation and even compromising the long-term survival of the remaining teeth. In addition, the daily movements of your jaw will weaken the front teeth. Since the forces are no longer distributed evenly to the lost teeth at the back, the front teeth take on loads for which they were not designed. Over time, they will move apart, leading to their eventual loss.

It is even more critical that the food is well chewed before it reaches the stomach. But with a loss of teeth, especially posterior, we tend to swallow everything whole. In addition, some foods are removed from the usual diet because they have become too complicated to eat. These processes result in nutrient deficiencies or even overloads of other elements. Yet, malnutrition is one of the leading causes of the development of chronic diseases. It has also been proven that the signals transmitted by the teeth to the brain stimulate brain activity. When teeth are lost, the predisposition to cognitive deterioration increases and the manifestations of cognitive decline is more rapid. The more time that passes after the loss of a tooth, the more complex the procedures for its replacement become due to the migration of adjacent teeth. With many missing teeth, the jaw can also become distorted and interfere with rehabilitation. Replacing a tooth quickly after it is lost will ensure the best long-term conditions.
