What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in La Salle, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the La Salle area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. 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 elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
