What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, 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 missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Oakland Grove, FL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Oakland Grove area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
