What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Naukati Bay, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Naukati Bay‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
