What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. 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 permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tununak, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Tununak area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
