What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, 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 adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Cuba, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess 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, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Cuba area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
