What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Los Olivos, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Los Olivos area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you 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!
