What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Medicaid dentist in Pioneer, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Pioneer 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 edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
