What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent private dentist in Dos Santos, NM who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Dos Santos area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
