What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tununak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Tununak area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
