What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Delta Dental dentist in Sheridan, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Sheridan area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
