What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Valmont, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Valmont‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
