What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, 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 consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Pilot Station, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Pilot Station 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 many years have gone by since that happened!
