What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent in-network dentist in East Lake, AL 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 diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the East Lake area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
