What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled United Healthcare dentist in Fairmead, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Fairmead area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
