What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kotlik, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Kotlik area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
