What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly DentaQuest dentist in Little Rock, AR who can correct your tooth loss. 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. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Little Rock area 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 edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
