What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. 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 consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in New Hope Point, TN who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the New Hope Point area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
