What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tatitlek, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Tatitlek area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
