What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Stebbins, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Stebbins area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
