What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Cohoe, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor 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 restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Cohoe area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 elapsed since that happened!
