What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Stebbins, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Stebbins area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
