What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Santa Fe, NM who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Santa Fe area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
