What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Guardian dentist in Lochbuie, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Lochbuie area and have lost your natural teeth, 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 years have gone by since that happened!
