What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, 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 problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Loxley, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Loxley‘s proximity 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 edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
