What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Lisman, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lisman area and need a solution for tooth loss, 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!
