What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated private 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 dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Lowndesboro area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
