What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Phenix City, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Phenix City‘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!
