What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Hollygrove, LA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Hollygrove 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 edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
