What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. 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 talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Phenix City, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild 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 or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Phenix City area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
