What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Little River, FL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Little River area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
