What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing Aetna dentist in Sheridan, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Sheridan area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
