What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Silver Cliff, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Silver Cliff area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
