What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Healthplex dentist in Hartford, CT who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Hartford area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
