What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Guardian dentist in Houston, TX who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Houston area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
