Whenever you lose a natural tooth, you must replace the missing tooth as quickly as possible. If you choose not to replace the tooth and leave the area in your mouth empty, your remaining teeth become threatened.
This threat happens when your other teeth work hard to fill the gap left behind by the missing tooth. Even though your natural teeth aren’t supposed to shift or move from their places in your smile, they will gradually make their way into the available space—much like how books on a bookshelf move when even a single book is removed.
