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 losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Cigna dentist in West Highland, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the West Highland area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
