What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Lowndesboro, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials 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 Lowndesboro area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
