Dental Prostheses

The absence of a tooth primarily affects the position of the adjacent teeth in the jawbone. Neighboring teeth move towards this gap caused by missing teeth, rotate or even overturn. It also causes the teeth in the opposite jaw to elongate into the space over time. Over time, the position changes that occur in the teeth in this way cause early contacts, limitation of jaw movements and therefore discomfort during function. Although such changes are not immediately after the loss of teeth, if they are not treated for a long time, excessive pressure on the neighboring teeth can cause the jaw bones and jaw muscles to become sensitive and cause a painful process.
