What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in East Corner, DC who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the East Corner area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
