What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Healthplex dentist in Ponderosa Hills, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Ponderosa Hills area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. 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!
