What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing 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 an excellent Aetna dentist in Pine Valley, 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 friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Pine Valley‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
