What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Penryn, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Penryn area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
