What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Whittier, MN who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Whittier 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 lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
