Missing Teeth Effects
Missing teeth create a chain reaction of oral health problems that extend far beyond aesthetics. When a tooth is lost, your jawbone begins deteriorating immediately – losing up to 25% of its width within the first year. This bone loss accelerates aging, causing facial collapse and wrinkles around the mouth.
Adjacent teeth also shift into the gap, leading to bite misalignment, TMJ pain, and difficulty chewing. Studies show people with missing back teeth subconsciously chew on one side, causing uneven jaw muscle development and headaches.
Serious Effects of Tooth Loss
- Up to 1mm monthly bone height loss
- Lips thin, chin protrudes
- Poor chewing reduces nutrient absorption
- ping or whistling sounds
- Neighboring teeth shift 0.5-2mm yearly
- Gaps trap food particles
Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Send us a message here or in WhatsApp
How quickly should I replace a missing tooth?
Within 3-6 months to prevent significant bone loss. Immediate implants are ideal if possible.
Can one missing tooth affect my whole mouth?
Yes – each tooth supports its neighbors. One gap can eventually destabilize your entire bite.
Will missing teeth change my face shape?
Absolutely. Without tooth roots, jawbone resorbs causing collapsed lips and sunken cheeks.
Are posterior teeth less important to replace?
No – back teeth bear 80% of chewing forces. Their loss causes the fastest bone deterioration.
Can I wait years before getting implants?
Possible, but you’ll likely need bone grafting later due to atrophy, adding £900-£1,500 to costs.
Do partial dentures prevent these problems?
No – dentures accelerate bone loss by 4x compared to implants.
How does tooth loss affect nutrition?
Studies link missing molars to 32% reduced vegetable intake due to chewing difficulties.
Can children experience these effects?
Yes – premature baby tooth loss requires space maintainers to prevent adult tooth misalignment.
"I didn’t replace a back tooth for years - by the time I did, my bite had changed completely. Don’t make my mistake!"
