What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. 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 adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Glen Ellen, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Glen Ellen‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
