What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Delta Dental dentist in Victor, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Victor 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 suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
