What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new private dentist in Flushing, NY 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 dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Flushing area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
