What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in International District, WA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the International District area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
