What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing 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, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated private dentist in Shelter Cove, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Shelter Cove‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
