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. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Minturn, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Minturn‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
