What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Little Forest Hills, TX who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Little Forest Hills‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
