What Is Hypodontia?
Hypodontia is a dental condition where one or more permanent teeth fail to develop. It is different from losing teeth due to injury or decay—these teeth are naturally missing from birth. While it can affect any teeth, it is most common in:
-
Upper lateral incisors
-
Second premolars
-
Lower central incisors (less common)
Hypodontia can impact your appearance, bite alignment, and overall oral function if left untreated.
Why Treat Hypodontia?
Leaving gaps in your smile can lead to several problems over time:
-
Shifting teeth – Neighboring teeth can move into empty spaces.
-
Bite problems – Misalignment can cause jaw pain and difficulty chewing.
-
Bone loss – Missing teeth can lead to jawbone resorption over time.
-
Lower self-confidence – Visible gaps can affect your smile and confidence.
Early treatment helps preserve your oral health and restores natural function.

For patients with hypodontia, partial dentures can be an effective and affordable solution. They are designed to:
