What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Penryn, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Penryn area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
