What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Briar Forest, TX who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Briar Forest‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
