What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Dunning, IL who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Dunning area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. 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!
