What To Do About Missing 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 is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated MetLife dentist in Lazear, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lazear area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
