What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Aetna dentist in Telluride, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Telluride area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
