What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Mckenzie, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, 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, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Mckenzie‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
