What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Guardian dentist in Sunol, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Sunol‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
