What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent private dentist in Wilderness Crossing, FL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. 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 lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Wilderness Crossing‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
