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 leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Diomede, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Diomede‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
