What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly United Healthcare dentist in Westcliffe, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Westcliffe area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
