What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated private dentist in Far West, OH who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, 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 crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Far West area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
