What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Healthplex dentist in Speer, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Speer area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
