Why Replace Missing Teeth?
- Normal arrangement of teeth immediately following the removal of one tooth.
- With time, if even one tooth is missing, the space may cause:
- teeth in front of space to drift back creating spaces in between front teeth.
- teeth behind space to tilt forward.
- tooth above space to erupt down.
- Because these teeth drift out of position, several conditions may occur:
- severe occlusal (bite) problems that could lead to clicking of the jaw, headaches and jaw pain.
- hard to clean areas are created which will lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
