What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in Acres Green, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. 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 fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Acres Green area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
