What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Lompico, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lompico area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
