What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Allenspark, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Allenspark area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
