What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Gerber, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several 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 supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Gerber area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you 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!
