What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Gardner, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Gardner area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
