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 losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new MetLife dentist in Speer, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, 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, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Speer area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
