What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Nuiqsut, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Nuiqsut‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
