What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled private dentist in Antonito, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Antonito‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
