What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled MetLife dentist in Huntington, WV who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Huntington area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
