What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Guardian dentist in Kit Carson, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess 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 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 secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Kit Carson area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
