What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent DentaQuest dentist in Johnson Park, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. 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 preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Johnson Park area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. 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 years have elapsed since that happened!
