What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Hyder, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Hyder area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get 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!
