What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, 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 is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Autaugaville, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Autaugaville‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get 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!
