What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. 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 issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a new Healthplex dentist in Lamar, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Lamar area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
