What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Douglasville, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Douglasville area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
