What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Camden, ME who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Camden area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
