What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Indian Creek, CO who can replace missing teeth. 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. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Indian Creek area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
