What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent MetLife dentist in Del Rio, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple 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 Del Rio area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
