What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing private dentist in Lexington, OK 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 dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lexington area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
