Gaps in your smile can also have a powerful impact on your oral health by changing your smile\u2019s alignment, impairing functionality, and contributing to bone loss in the jaw.<\/p>\n<p>In part, this is because a gap in your smile increases the workload on your remaining teeth. The extra pressure exerted on them when you chew causes them to shift out of alignment, creating spaces and making them vulnerable to food impaction and decay.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason for the change in your smile is the loss of your tooth root. Tooth toots stimulate your jawbone to produce new bone tissue, keeping your jaw healthy. When a root is missing, there\u2019s nothing there to stimulate the growth of new bone, causing you to lose bone instead. What\u2019s more, that weakness will spread over time instead of staying localized, putting nearby teeth at risk. After four to eight years, you may have lost as many as five more teeth, all because of just one gap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tooth Replacement Options from Juno Beach Restorative &amp; Aesthetic Dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junobeachsmiles.com\/\">Juno Beach dental office<\/a>, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junobeachsmiles.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorative<\/a> options that can help.
