What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Paragon Estates, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Paragon Estates area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
