What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum 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 articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent MetLife dentist in Knightsen, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Knightsen area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
