What can happen if you don’t replace a tooth

Not replacing a missing tooth can be more detrimental to your health than you may think.

Teeth like to touch one another and if you have an empty space where a tooth should be, your teeth will find a way to come together which can affect your chewing experience and your overall bite.

If things aren’t where they should be, you may also notice head and neck pain, jaw pain, tightness or tension and signs of clenching during the day or even while you sleep.

Be sure you to talk to either Dr. Sipes or Dr. Benner for more information as each patient is unique and so are their recommended treatment(s).
