What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent DentaQuest dentist in Lamar, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Lamar area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
