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 is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an awesome Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kupreanof, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium 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 Kupreanof area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. 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!
