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 often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced DentaQuest dentist in Collbran, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Collbran area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
