What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent United Healthcare dentist in Stonewall Gap, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Stonewall Gap‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
