What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Craig, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Craig area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you 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!
