When a tooth is lost, it is important to replace it with an artificial tooth quickly to prevent jawbone loss. Indeed, as the bone of the jaw will not be stimulated during chewing, it will diminish in height and width where the tooth was lost. In addition, the adjacent teeth are likely to move, which will cause other problems.

If you lose a tooth, an implant supported crown is the best solution because it is closest to a natural tooth. Do not delay talking to your dentist when a tooth is lost to prevent bone loss.
