What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Cigna dentist in Franktown, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Franktown area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
