What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Delta Dental dentist in Kettleman City, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Kettleman City area and need a solution for tooth loss, 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 years have elapsed since that happened!
