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. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Gurley, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Gurley area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
