What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly MetLife dentist in Boonville, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Boonville area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
