What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled United Healthcare dentist in Taft Mosswood, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Taft Mosswood area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
