What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced United Healthcare dentist in Fairplay, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Fairplay area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
