What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Aetna dentist in Pueblo West, CO who can correct your tooth loss. 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 examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. 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 alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Pueblo West area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you 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!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
