A member asked:
Is it true that if you replace missing teeth there will be changes to your face because of this? and if so, what kind of changes are these?

Missing Teeth: Replacing missing teeth usually adds positive changes to your face. Edentulous areas can age the face, and rebuilding lost bone and replacing missing teeth can restore a youthful appearance.

The location matters: Your teeth support your lips and cheeks. If missing your teeth, your facial proportions can be off and wrinkles can occur in the skin and the cheeks can appear gaunt. Lack of support can affect your appearance
