## Did you know that missing teeth can have a dramatic impact on your oral and overall health?

Left untreated, missing teeth can also lead to a range of serious complications including:

- Movement of your existing teeth out of position, to fill the space left by tooth loss
- Deteriorating gum tissue and jaw bone material over time
- Changing facial appearance in response to this jaw bone deterioration
- Misalignment of your bite

**If you're living with missing teeth, at Wickham Terrace Dental we can guide you through your tooth restoration options and their costs, to determine whether [dental implants](http://www.wickhamterracedental.com.au/services/restorative-dentist/dental-implants-dentist-brisbane-city/)are the right choice for you.**
