When teeth are gone-: The loss of wisdom teeth is no big deal and will not change symmetry of bite, occlusion or face. When you lose other teeth, the adjacent and opposing ones tend to drift to close the space and the bite may collapse over time. See a general dentist about replacements of which implants are usually the best. Comprehensive treatment plan may include perio and ortho as well.
