What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Mira Mesa, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Mira Mesa area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
