What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Greeley Hill, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Greeley Hill area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
