What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Brook Forest, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, 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 crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Brook Forest area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
