What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Sherrelwood, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. 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, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Sherrelwood area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
