What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Clio, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Clio area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
