What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Crook, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. 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, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures 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 jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Crook‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
