What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Lanier Heights, DC who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Lanier Heights‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
