What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Pisgah, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Pisgah‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
