What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Lincoln Financial Group dentist in La Honda, 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 location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, 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 set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the La Honda 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 edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
