What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. 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 problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Woodcrest, OK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing 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 prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Woodcrest area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
