What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an awesome in-network dentist in Lake View, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Lake View‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
