What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Haswell, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. 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 diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Haswell area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
