What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Brookside, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Brookside area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get 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 years have gone by since that happened!
