What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby 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 problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Guardian dentist in Basalt, 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 area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Basalt area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
