What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Matheson, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Matheson area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
