What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an amazing private dentist in Iroquois, KY who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Iroquois area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
