What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Detroit, MI who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Detroit area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
