What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new private dentist in Dakota Ridge, 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 dedicated dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, 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 act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Dakota Ridge area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
