What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, 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 speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Southwest, PA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Southwest area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 elapsed since that happened!
