What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Lazy Mountain, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lazy Mountain‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
