️ Chewing Efficiency Drops
Your teeth work together like a team. When one is missing, especially a molar (the big back teeth), your chewing becomes less effective. This can lead to poor digestion and a lack of proper nutrition, which affects your general health.
Neighbouring Teeth Start to Shift
When a tooth goes missing, the teeth next to it slowly begin to tilt or move into that empty space. This creates gaps, misalignment, and bite issues. Over time, it becomes harder to clean these areas, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
The Opposing Tooth “Overerupts”
Each tooth has a partner in the opposite jaw. When one is missing, the tooth above or below it may start to come down or up into the empty space – this is called overeruption. It can loosen the opposing tooth and disturb your bite, causing pain or sensitivity.
Bone Loss Begins
Teeth help keep your jawbone strong. When a tooth is missing, the bone in that area no longer gets stimulation through chewing. As a result, it starts to shrink (called bone resorption). Over time, this can change your facial structure and make future tooth replacement, like implants, more difficult.
General Health Can Be Affected
Poor chewing, gum issues, and bacteria from infected or misaligned teeth can lead to broader health concerns. Studies have shown links between missing teeth and problems like diabetes, heart disease, and even digestive issues due to improper food breakdown.

Our Services
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that straighten teeth over time. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces, offering comfort and convenience as they can be removed for eating and cleaning.
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to move teeth into the desired position over time.
Crowns are caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, and function. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants, providing a natural-looking and functional solution.
Growth modification is an orthodontic treatment aimed at correcting jaw discrepancies in growing children. It uses appliances to guide the growth of the jaw, ensuring proper alignment and bite.
Smile design involves a combination of cosmetic dental procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. This can include veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, tailored to achieve your desired look.
Root canal treatment is a procedure to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens the color of your teeth. It can be done in-office effectively removing stains and discoloration for a brighter smile.
Tooth fillings are used to restore cavities or damaged teeth. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the area is filled with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or gold to restore its function and appearance.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It is performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding, and cannot be saved by other treatments.
