What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Medicaid dentist in Mariposa, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Mariposa area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
