What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Downtown Columbus, OH who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Downtown Columbus area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
