What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated 1199 dentist in Kiowa, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Kiowa area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
