What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated private dentist in Peyton, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Peyton area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
