What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced United Healthcare dentist in Alhambra Valley, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Alhambra Valley area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
