What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Cigna dentist in Florence, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Florence area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
