What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new MetLife dentist in Shell Ridge, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Shell Ridge area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
