What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Champaign, IL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Champaign 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!
