What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease 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 articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced Healthplex dentist in Bethune, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with 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 Bethune area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
