What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Idalia, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Idalia area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. 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!
