What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis 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 your facial structure. You need an amazing Cigna dentist in Minkler, 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 in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Minkler area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
