What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced private dentist in Mount Washington, MD who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Mount Washington area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
