What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Linnell Camp, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. 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 supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Linnell Camp 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 edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
