What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent United Healthcare dentist in Paoli, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Paoli area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
