What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Moose Pass, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Moose Pass area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. 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 years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
