Can Wisdom Tooth Be Replaced?
Wisdom tooth is on top right. Basically if it goes, there will be much more of a gap on that side than on the left. I'm nearly 50 and I do not want my face caving in. Any views? From what's being said, implants are too complicated, otherwise I'd consider one to replace.

Hello,
Removal of a single tooth or wisdom tooth, in particular, will not cause any caving of face. It commonly occurs due to loss of multiple teeth causing sagging and caving of face. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. If the wisdom tooth is causing problems, you can get it removed, and it is generally not needed replacement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
