What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Goodnews Bay, 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 a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Goodnews Bay‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
