What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Guardian dentist in Hotchkiss, 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 friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Hotchkiss‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. 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!
