What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled MetLife dentist in San Luis, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the San Luis‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
