Can losing back teeth really affect my front teeth?+
It can. Spaces change support and chewing patterns, and teeth may end up taking on more force. An examination can help show whether that is contributing to changes you have noticed.
Do I have to replace every missing back tooth?+
Not necessarily. That decision depends on your bite, your chewing, the health of neighbouring teeth and your own priorities. Ask what leaving a particular space open could mean for you.
Can chipped front teeth be fixed without doing the back teeth?+
Sometimes, though repairs may be at risk if the forces behind the damage remain unaddressed. The dentist can explain whether a small repair is reasonable or the bite needs attention too.
Which replacement is suitable for back teeth?+
Implants, bridges and dentures may each be possible depending on bone, gums, adjacent teeth and how the jaws meet. Your assessment helps work out which would be appropriate.
Will I get my full chewing ability back?+
That cannot be promised. Improving bite balance and chewing function is a goal of planning, and you can ask what is realistic with the options being discussed for you.
