Does your smile look dull? Are you missing a few teeth?

Maybe you’ve got a gap between your top and bottom teeth or even gaps in your front teeth. Or maybe you’ve got a few missing teeth.

If you’ve got a few missing teeth, you might not even realise they’re there. Missing teeth can look really natural and you might not even be able to tell that they’re missing until you’re looking in a mirror.

Missing teeth can affect your confidence. Your smile can look more uneven than before and you might find yourself feeling self-conscious about your teeth.

Don’t worry. Missing teeth can be fixed and your smile can be restored. They’re completely reversible.

Symptoms of missing teeth

Missing teeth can have a big impact on your confidence. You might notice that your smile looks more uneven. It could feel like your lips don’t line up with your front teeth. It’s hard to notice when you first have missing teeth but as the years go by, you might notice that you’re starting to show a little bit.

It’s possible that your teeth are moving and they won’t quite fit into their new positions. This can make your teeth look longer and flatter.

When you smile, you may notice gaps between your teeth. You may also notice gaps in your front teeth or between your teeth.

Causes of missing teeth

Missing teeth can be due to trauma or injury, decay or gum disease. Sometimes the tooth will just fall out, while other times the tooth will be taken out with forceps or a tooth puller.

Other factors can contribute to tooth loss. These include:

• Tooth extractions
• Periodontal disease
• Osteoporosis
• Ageing
• Lack of dental care
