What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Healthplex dentist in Red Cliff, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. 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 lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Red Cliff‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
