What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Delta Dental dentist in Lawson, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing 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 long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Lawson area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
