Why is it worth treating?

For many people a missing tooth can have little to no impact on them, for others it can affect their appearance, impacting confidence and self-esteem. It can make biting, chewing and eating more difficult. Missing teeth can also impact speech and overall oral health. In some cases, not treat a missing tooth can affect your teeth alignment further impairing your ability to chew which can strain the mouth and jawbone.

It’s always a good idea to speak to a dentist about any concerns you may have.
