What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Seldovia, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, 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 gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Seldovia area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
