What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Delta Dental dentist in Los Alamos, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate 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 lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Los Alamos‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
