What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Milliken, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Milliken area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
