Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lost teeth or exfoliated teeth might be the milk teeth, the front milk teeth will fall at the age of 6-7 years and the back teeth will fall up to the age of 10-12 years. If there are no permanent teeth inside the bone, then there are no chances of teeth development. To confirm this, you need to consult a oral physician and get a radiograph like OPG to rule out the missing teeth. Yo need to get your son completely examined to rule out ectodermal dysplasia. If the teeth are missing within the bone, then you have to get the missing teeth replaced after the age of 14 with removable appliance. Once the your son completes the age of 18 then you can go for implant supported dentures.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
