False tooth

A false tooth is a term that can be used for several different dental devices used to replace a missing tooth. It is important to replace a missing tooth due to orthodontic problems that could arise if nothing is done.

Teeth opposite the empty space will tend to move inwards in order to fill the gap. A tooth opposite the gap can become loose as well. In the end this one missing tooth can cause a need for serious and expensive dental work in order to restore functionality and looks to the mouth.
