What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Akron, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Akron area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
