What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent private dentist in Michoud, LA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Michoud area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.
