What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new in-network dentist in Alanton, VA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Alanton area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
