Teeth need each other for support. When one tooth is lost,
the biting force changes on the teeth next to the space,
and they begin to shift. When a tooth no longer has anything
to chew against, it begins to extrude out of the socket.
You can eventually end up losing the tooth. A missing tooth
really changes a person's smile, but a bridge is a good way
to get your smile back.
Alternatives to bridges are:
1. Implants
2. Partial Dentures |
