What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tanaina, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Tanaina 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 edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
