What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new DentaQuest dentist in Taft Mosswood, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Taft Mosswood area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
