What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Newcastle, 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. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Newcastle area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
