What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Orrville, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. 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 losing a tooth.
If you live in the Orrville area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
