What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Saraland, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. 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 preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Saraland area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
