What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an awesome Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Napakiak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Napakiak area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
