What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly United Healthcare dentist in Franktown, CO who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Franktown‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
