What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent private dentist in Peralta Heights, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Peralta Heights area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
