What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly DentaQuest dentist in Burlington, VT who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. 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 maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Burlington area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
