What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Savoonga, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Savoonga area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
