What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Sycamore, NM who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Sycamore area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
