What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Rico, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Rico‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
