What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced DentaQuest dentist in San Luis, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the San Luis area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
