What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent private dentist in Minshall Park, OK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Minshall Park area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
