What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in New Park, CT who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled 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, 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 supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the New Park area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
