What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Shadow Hills, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, 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 stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Shadow Hills area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
