And, more than 35 million don\u2019t have any teeth.<\/p>\n<p>The appropriate solution for addressing tooth loss depends on your situation. If the surrounding teeth and integrity of the gums are still intact, we may opt for a dental bridge. If your tooth loss is severe and you\u2019re budget conscious or looking for a fast solution, full or partial dentures might be the answer.<\/p>\n<p>Missing teeth lead to both physiological and psychological effects. The most obvious as a result of the unsightly gaps. Patients with missing teeth often report a decrease in self-esteem. Additionally, society tends to treat people with missing teeth differently. They\u2019re viewed as less happy, healthy and capable, afforded less professional opportunities than their counterparts not missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the aesthetics, tooth loss affects function, form and health. \u00a0This educational video depicts what happens to your bones and gum tissues as a result of tooth loss.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gsbXYOjMnYs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When your bones and gum tissue deteriorate, your face begins to sag, showing signs of aging and wear.
