What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Historic Hillside, NM who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Historic Hillside area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
