What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Upper Lake area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
