What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Ninilchik, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. 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 mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Ninilchik area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
