What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Grand Junction, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Grand Junction area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
