Losing a tooth to gum disease, decay, or trauma may not seem like a life changing condition. If the tooth isn’t visible when you smile, you might not be worried about it at all. But the reality is that the extra space a missing tooth creates can lead to a chain-reaction throughout your entire bite. If the tooth isn’t replaced in a timely manner, you can easily develop conditions like:

• TMJ disorder
• Increased periodontal risk
• Abnormal tooth wear
• Broken dental work
• Crowding or crooked teeth
