What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, 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 with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent private dentist in Chesopeian Colony, VA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD 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 jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Chesopeian Colony area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
