Tooth Agenesis treatment in La Paz

Tooth absence refers to the lack of one or more teeth, whether from birth or after a later loss. It can affect chewing, speech, and the alignment of the rest of the teeth.

Common causes: hereditary factors that prevent the formation of the tooth, advanced cavities, gum disease, or trauma.

Why address it? When a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth may shift and the bone in the area tends to change over time, which should be assessed in time.

Which specialist treats it? The dentist is the first point of contact, and depending on the case the orthodontist, the implantologist, or the maxillofacial surgeon may take part. The most useful thing is to schedule a review to learn about the alternatives available for your situation.
