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 is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. 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 an excellent Guardian dentist in Taft Mosswood, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Taft Mosswood area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
