What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent private dentist in Gentilly Woods, LA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an amazing 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 placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Gentilly Woods area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
