What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Union Hill, VA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Union Hill area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
