The Many Consequences of Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can impact your healthYour teeth have three primary functions: chewing, helping to pronounce words and making up your smile. When one of your teeth is missing, those three functions are impaired — and your oral health suffers additional consequences in the long run. If you have a number of teeth lost to decay or periodontal disease and live in the Suffolk or Nassau County areas, you owe it to yourself to visit Farber Center for Periodontics & Dental Implants. We strive to offer the best dental implants and All-on-4 Long Island has available.

Not only is a missing tooth or row of teeth troublesome to your physical smile, but you could also suffer from malocclusion which is when your teeth become misaligned. When a tooth goes missing, your teeth eventually move to fill in the open space.
