What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Reed, OR who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Reed area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
