What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Carlton, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Carlton area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
