What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing Aetna dentist in Clay, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Clay area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
