What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Nauvoo, AL 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 awesome dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Nauvoo area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
