What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Timberlake, VA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Timberlake‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
