What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Orchard, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, 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 set of dentures could be prescribed. 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 prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Orchard‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
