What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Alamosa, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. 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 multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Alamosa‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. 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!
