What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Fishtown, PA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Fishtown‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get 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 gone by since that happened!
