What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in Conejos, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured 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 losing a tooth.
If you live in the Conejos area and need a solution for tooth loss, 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 surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
