What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Camanche Village, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Camanche Village 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 suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
