What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Firestone, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Firestone area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. 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 elapsed since that happened!
