What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Altona, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Altona area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
