What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous 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 losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in The Museum District, VA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the The Museum District area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
