What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, 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 is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new Cigna dentist in Lawson, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Lawson area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, 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 dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.
