Is it necessary to fill in after removing the top seven? My dentist suggests that this is necessary due to the possibility of the bottom seven growing and interfering with the top six and eight. An additional argument is that the other side is overburdened when chewing. I would like to be sure that the filling is necessary because I am not sure if the implant or the bridge are necessary in this situation. I am also a bit afraid of implants (foreign body).
The aim is not to restore the lost seven at all costs, not in all conditions. The most important factor influencing the decision in this matter is the occlusal conditions, and these are an individual feature of each patient. An implant is a good solution for replacing a missing tooth.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
