What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Cascade, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Cascade area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get 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 gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
