What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Linda Vista, 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. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Linda Vista area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. 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!
