A missing tooth can lead to more serious consequences than an unattractive smile.
Teeth on either side of the gap usually become subjected to excess force because there are fewer teeth to share the burden. Also once a tooth is missing, the other teeth may begin to drift. This not only leads to crooked teeth, but to an increased risk of losing additional teeth.
