What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated private dentist in Riverview, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Riverview area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
