missing tooth - centre de santé dentaire sourires exquis

The missing teeth will have an impact on chewing, speech, occlusion and the appearance of a smile. The teeth next to the space left by the extracted or missing tooth, will move towards each other and try to fill the space, and the teeth antagonistic to the edentulous space will extrude. This occurrence results in partial deviation and crooked teeth, which are difficult to clean and maintain, and premature loss of these teeth due to gum problems and carious lesions.
