What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new private dentist in Highgate Crossing, VA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Highgate Crossing area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
