What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Yakutat, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. 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 lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Yakutat area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
