Why Single Tooth Replacement Is Important
Single tooth replacement is an essential aspect of overall oral health. Losing a single tooth can have several negative consequences, including:
- Difficulty Chewing – Missing teeth make chewing certain foods difficult, leading to digestive issues and poor nutrition.
- Shifting of Remaining Teeth – A gap caused by a missing tooth can cause other teeth to shift out of place, resulting in bite problems and jaw pain.
- Bone Loss – When a tooth is lost, the bone that supported it begins to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. This can compromise the stability of neighboring teeth.
- Speech Impediments – A missing tooth can cause speech impediments, creating difficulty in pronouncing certain words or sounds.
Symptoms That May Indicate a Need for a Dental Implant
- Trouble chewing on one side due to a missing or damaged tooth
- Feeling self-conscious about a cracked or decayed tooth
- Jaw or gum discomfort caused by bite misalignment
- Embarrassment over a missing tooth—especially in a noticeable area
- Frustration with a removable partial denture, flipper, or bridge
- Speech difficulties from a missing front tooth
- Worry about a loose tooth from injury, gum disease, or trauma
- Concern about nearby teeth shifting into an empty space
These symptoms often signal conditions best managed by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. At Rollar Oral Surgery, we offer expert evaluation and personalized care for patients throughout Conway, SC.
