What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Medicaid dentist in Queens, NY who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
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 assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Queens area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
