What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Lake View, AL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lake View‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
