What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a new Medicaid dentist in Alhambra Valley, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect 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 several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Alhambra Valley 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
