What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new MetLife dentist in Cheraw, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Cheraw‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
