What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Delta Dental dentist in Petaluma Center, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, 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 prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Petaluma Center‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
