What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in North La Junta, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe 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 rebuild your smile. 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 tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the North La Junta area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
