What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous 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 oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent private dentist in Cope, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Cope area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
