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 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 damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled DentaQuest dentist in Elkhorn, CA 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 friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Elkhorn area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
