What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Lakeside, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lakeside‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
