What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Pueblo West, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Pueblo West area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get 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!
