What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Livengood, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Livengood‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
