Dealing with no teeth

Whether you lost your teeth to an injury, gum disease, severe tooth decay or genetic reasons, the results and consequences always remain the same.

Having no teeth hugely impacts on your social dynamics, confidence, speech, chewing and eating and the overall future of your oral health.

Not only do patients have to deal with the psychological impacts of having no teeth, but the negative changes it causes to their face, bone and jaw overtime too.

No teeth consequences

The list of negative consequences of having no teeth is huge. We could write hundreds of words on what patients can expect – but to keep it brief, we’ll highlight the most common problems we see.

Without teeth present, the gums loses much of its natural protection, heightening the risk of gum disease, causing problems for many dental restorations in future.
Patients experience a depletion of bone in their jaw, which will never grow back – with jawbone density beginning to decrease six months into bone loss. The effects of bone loss can prevent patients from receiving advanced procedures like implants in the future.
Patients’ bites, gums and shape of their faces will begin to change as there are no teeth left to support the structure.

No teeth overview

Living without teeth or dentures affects your quality of life
Edentulous patients suffer from huge health and appearance effects
Without teeth, patients have limited foods they can eat causing poor nutrition
Increase in saliva flow, making it hard to pass and digest food
Gums over time become sore and irritated
At some stage, softer foods will even become more difficult to eat
Relying on gums for the chewing process results in jaw joints closing beyond their normal limits
Muscle pain, TMJ and infected gums all common problems
No support for bone in the jaw, causing the face to sag

No teeth treatments

Traditionally, patients had one option for replacing a full mouth of missing teeth: dentures. Thankfully, modern dentistry has several options for replacing a full smile, with procedures that only take up to four hours and can leave patients with a fully rehabilitated upper and lower jaw.

Partial dentures and dental bridges are not appropriate for patients suffering from no teeth, as they require remaining teeth to remain supported into place.

Other full mouth treatment options include Zygomatic implants and subperiosteal implants, but they are typically the most extensive and expensive.

Any full mouth replacement method, which uses dental implants can last anywhere from 15-30 years.

No Teeth Treatment Costs

Having no teeth is scary, and sometimes, fixing the issue is not as simple as clicking your fingers. Months of dental treatment typically follow, and with that, the costs to replace your upper and lower jaws—and for some, the thought of affording a new smile can be worrisome alone.

However, costs vary widely depending on the treatment you choose and how advanced, functional, and natural you want your new smile to be, keeping you in control of the budget. Private clinics like ours offer dental finance to pay for your full mouth rehabilitation treatment monthly, making it that much easier for patients to restore the smile they’ve lost.
