What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Cigna dentist in Herald, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine 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 several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Herald area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
