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


  • I have nothing but praise for the El Nashar Dental practice. The whole team are very professional and friendly. Jo has done a fair amount of work over the years for me, and everything has been to an excellent standard. She takes a long term approach to my dental needs and I have full confidence in her work. As an anxious patient, Jo and her assistant, Mary are both also really caring and empathetic which is really important to me as I find any dental procedures quite stressful! Thank you.

  • I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful dental practice. The staff are efficient, reassuring and highly skilled and the treatment I have received over many years has always been exemplary. Recently I had to have more complicated treatment which evolved a tricky extraction. Whilst I have never been nervous about dental procedures I was a bit anxious about this. I was signposted to the sedation process, which was absolutely wonderful. For any nervous patient they can be guaranteed a relaxed treatment with absolutely no discomfort or anxiety. I feel so fortunate to have been treated by these marvellous professionals who have also helped to ensure that I still have my own teeth at the age of 76! Many many thanks to you all
