What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tok, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Tok area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
