What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Coaldale, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Coaldale area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
