What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new United Healthcare dentist in Merino, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Merino area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
