As an adult, when you lose a tooth it simply will not grow back. The longer it stays missing, the more the surrounding teeth will move and become misaligned. If you call your local dental office they can give you a referral to a cosmetic dentist if they aren’t able to fix you up. The cosmetic dentist will tell you that you have two choices in how to get your problem taken care of. You could get a bridge made, but that would require that the surrounding teeth get reshaped to make room for the bridge. Your second choice is to get a Dental Implant Mankato MN put in.
The Dental Implant Mankato MN that can be put in will be grafted right to the bone in your jaw. This will make the implanted tooth as strong or stronger than the surrounding teeth. Before the Dental Implant Mankato MN is put in, the dentist will want to give all of your teeth a good cleaning and they will want to make sure that you don’t have any infection in your gums. If you do have an infection, even just the beginning of one, the dentist will get you some antibiotic to clear the infection up before they will do the implant. After the Dental Implant Mankato MN is in, the dentist will inspect how the rest of your teeth are aligned. If you have any teeth that went crooked or if you have developed any gaps between your other teeth, the dentist may recommend invisible braces to get them back where they belong.
With the advances in dentistry these days, almost anyone can get their smiles fixed. In the past a bridge, dental implant or even braces were too expensive for any but the wealthy. Today some of these dental services are being provided by general service dentists and they are covered by your standard insurance. Even some cosmetic dental work is starting to be covered by insurance these days and the costs are coming down so that almost anyone can afford to get the services.
Almost nothing is more bothersome that walking around with a smile you are to ashamed to show. This is reason enough to get your smile fixed by calling your local dentist today.
