What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled MetLife dentist in Eldridge, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Eldridge area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
