What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. 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 impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Gardendale, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. 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 set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Gardendale area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
