What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Kremmling, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Kremmling area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
