What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Healthplex dentist in Moulton, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Moulton area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
