What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Napakiak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Napakiak area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
