What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Alexandria, VA 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. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for 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, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Alexandria‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
