What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Blue Springs, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Blue Springs area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
