What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Moanalua, HI who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
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 diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Moanalua‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
