What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Acres Green, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Acres Green area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
