What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a new in-network dentist in Strawberry Mansion, PA 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. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Strawberry Mansion‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
