Will removing premolars change my face?

It is possible that any tooth extraction may affect the patient’s facial form and structure, as these teeth are removed along with the roots, and roots are the integral part of it. However, if a single tooth is extracted, the change to the face shape and structure is not likely to be drastic or immediately noticeable.

Do I need my premolars?

Why should something our body created in a healthy way be removed? These teeth are there for a reason, and the function they serve is chewing smaller bits of food that have already been pre-chewed by the molars. Without premolars, the canine (eye) teeth may be used for this function, and show very fast signs of wear.

Are premolars important?

Just as their name indicates, premolars are located just before the molars in the human mouth. These teeth are also known as bicuspids. The premolars are considered transitional teeth, as they work to guide food from the cuspids near the front of the mouth back to the molars near the rear of the mouth for chewing.

Is an implant necessary after a tooth extraction?

Early implants must be placed within this timeframe since two-thirds of bone resorption occurs within the first three months after extraction.

What happens if you don’t replace the bottom molar?

The reason for it is if you do not replace the bottom molar, the upper opposing second molar will begin to over erupt out of its socket, trying to reach its old partner that got extracted. Teeth need contact with one another. Without contact with another tooth, our teeth tend to drift.
