What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent DentaQuest dentist in Fruitdale, 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. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Fruitdale area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you 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 gone by since that happened!
