What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, 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 losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Garberville, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Garberville area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
