What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a new in-network dentist in Cofer, VA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials 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 jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Cofer area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
