What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Cigna dentist in Broomfield, 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 dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor 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 custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Broomfield area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
