What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Fraser, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Fraser area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
