When a tooth is knocked out in an accident or falls out because of a gum infection, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The reason is that once a tooth is missing, the jaw starts to adjust by having the neighboring teeth lean in to “fill the gap.” That causes not only them to become loose, but starts a chain reaction that can lead to other teeth needing to be extracted. Porcelain dental implants are the gold standard to replace missing teeth.
