What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Chalkyitsik, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Chalkyitsik‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
