What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Cigna dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Upper Lake area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
