What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced private dentist in Atlantic, WA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Atlantic 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 suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
