What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Ivanof Bay, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild 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 denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Ivanof Bay area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
