What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, 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 losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent private dentist in Bismarck, ND who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Bismarck area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
