What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Medicaid dentist in Plymouth, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Plymouth area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. 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!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
