What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing 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, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced United Healthcare dentist in Four Square Mile, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. 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 preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Four Square Mile area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
