What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent United Healthcare dentist in Florissant, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Florissant area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
