What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Highland, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Highland area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
