What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Ponderosa Park, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Ponderosa Park 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 elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
