What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. 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 negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Guardian dentist in Tulelake, 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 dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Tulelake area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get 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!
