What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood 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 youthful features. You need a skilled Guardian dentist in Thermal, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate 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 missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, 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 dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Thermal area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
