What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Rincon Hill, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Rincon Hill area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
