What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Hayden, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, 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 set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Hayden 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 gone by since that happened!
