What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Cigna dentist in Hale, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. 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, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental 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 Hale‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
