What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Merriwether, KY who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Merriwether‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
