What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent private dentist in Olde Stockdale, CA 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 location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Olde Stockdale‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
