What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced private dentist in Cole Valley, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Cole Valley area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
