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 means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new private dentist in San Diego, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the San Diego area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.
