What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, 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 difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Healthplex dentist in Cottonwood, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Cottonwood area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
