What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent DentaQuest dentist in Blende, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Then, 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 missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Blende area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please applaud our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
