What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Healthplex dentist in Dillon, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Dillon area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
