Implants
The normal arrangement of teeth following the removal of one tooth is lost with time. The teeth in front of the space drift back creating spaces between the front teeth; teeth behind the space tilt forward; and the tooth above the space erupts down. As teeth drift out of position, changes in the bite can lead to clicking of the jaw, headaches and jaw pain. Also, hard to clean areas are created which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
