What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Cody, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth 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 Cody area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
