What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Alexandria, VA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Alexandria area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
