What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Forest Park, OR who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect 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 gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Forest Park area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
