The NHL’s Shocking Smile Secret: Why Star Players Choose Missing Teeth Over Fixes
“Let’s say you lose one tooth,” says Dr. Dennis Fasbinder, clinical professor and director of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry’s Dental Faculty Associates. “The player decides, ‘I want a bridge. I don’t want to have an implant done.’ Well, we have to put a crown on the teeth on either side of that space. So it looks like the tooth is replaced. But now three teeth are connected. If they get hit there again, they might lose additional teeth now, not just the one they lost to begin with.”
