Why should I replace missing teeth?
Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can
mean more strain is put on the teeth at either side.
A gap can also mean your ‘bite' is affected, because the teeth next to the space
can lean into the gap and change the way the upper and lower teeth bite together.
This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes tooth
decay and gum disease.
