What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced private dentist in Stevenson, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Stevenson 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 lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
