Missing Back Teeth

Why do I need to replace a missing back tooth?

Chain reaction

A missing back tooth can start a chain reaction over years that in extreme cases could lead to the loss of more teeth. Back teeth (molars) are chewing teeth.

Further tooth movement

Back teeth keep growing (erupt) and tilt and drift towards the front of the mouth if there’s a gap. If one tooth is missing, the opposing tooth moves into its place, teeth further back tilt and drift to where the opposing tooth was and so on

Inflammation

Tilted teeth soon develop gum pockets along their front root. Gum pockets are abnormal deep, narrow spaces that form between the gums and the root surface. These pockets trap food debris and bacteria. They are very difficult to clean and are, therefore, constantly inflamed.

Possibility of more tooth loss

In this hostile environment of plaque, gum and periodontal diseases, decay will soon follow, especially on the exposed roots of the over erupted teeth. Unchecked decay allows bacteria to enter the pulps (nerves) of teeth. This will lead to abscesses, which combined with the looseness of the teeth (mobility), will mean the only solution is to extract the teeth.

What Our Patients Say About Us


  • After my first visit today I can only say how pleased I am to have chosen El Nashar for my dental care. The staff who greeted me in reception were very welcoming and helpful and Chris was very thorough with my initial examination and explained everything in great detail to me. I really feel that I’m going to be very well looked after here and I’m looking forward to my next visit now to see the hygienist. Update…..I’ve now seen Terri my hygienist and she was amazing! Made me feel very relaxed and welcome. She explained my oral health results to me in great detail, answered any questions I had and informed me of how I can improve my oral hygiene myself with cleaning methods etc. I can’t rate my experience with Terri highly enough and I’m confident that I’m in the most competent and able hands with her for the coming years! Many thanks again to Terri and all the lovely staff at the practice.

  • First visit to Chris Roberts was a very thorough check-up and clear treatment plan detailed. Second visit today to Terri Weir, Hygenist. Again, a very thorough examination, explanation and advice. Very pleased indeed with the 'service with a smile' from all I have met at El-Nashar. Second visit to Chris Roberts for a replacement filling was very good. Procedure carried out without any discomfort and result a great improvement.

  • I am a new patient to the dental practice. Made to feel welcome, staff all friendly and guided me through all the processes. Felt very comfortable with all aspects. The dental practice looked very clean and modern. Definitely pleased I chose this dental practice as my ongoing dental treatment. I followed up with a visit to the hygienist, Terri. Took me through full procedure. No pain encountered. Explained benefits of brushing and provided dental appliances to assist. Mary took x rays. Again all perfect here. Now I've got my homework to do before my next visit in dental hygiene. Can't fault the dental practice.
