Missing Teeth Causes and Treatment
Missing teeth can impact both your oral health and the appearance of your smile. The most frequent cause is heredity, where certain teeth simply never develop. Other common causes include traumatic injury and the extraction of decayed teeth.
Why Treatment Is Important
When missing teeth are left untreated, the surrounding teeth may shift into the empty space. This can lead to:
- Difficulty chewing and proper digestion
- Bite misalignment and jaw discomfort
- Changes in facial aesthetics and smile symmetry
- Bone loss in the jaw where teeth are missing
Treatment Options
Space Consolidation with Orthodontics: Braces or aligners can be used to move teeth and create optimal spacing for future implants, crowns, or bridges.
Space Closure with Orthodontics: In some cases, spaces can be fully closed with braces or aligners, eliminating the need for implants or bridges entirely.
Interdisciplinary Treatment: Dr. Deshmukh is known for his expertise in managing these complex cases by collaborating with other dental specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes.
