What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled private dentist in Smeltertown, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Smeltertown area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
