What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, 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 consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Stebbins, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Stebbins area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
