What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Campion, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth 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 Campion area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
