What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent United Healthcare dentist in Occidental, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, 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 set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Occidental‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
