What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in El Macero, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the El Macero area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
