What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Capulin, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Capulin area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
