What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Hubbard Farms, MI who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Then, 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 lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental 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 Hubbard Farms area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
