We encourage our patients to maintain a full set of teeth from one molar to the opposite molar without gaps in between.<\/p>\n<p>Teeth function best when they have \u201cbuddies.\u201d They\u2019re meant to lean on each other and share the forces of chewing. When a tooth is left isolated without support, it takes on too much stress, which often leads to excessive wear, the need for a root canal, or even tooth loss. By keeping your teeth working together\u2014or replacing missing ones with implants, you\u2019re much more likely to keep your natural teeth healthy for life.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you love is
