What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. 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 dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Firestone‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
