What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating 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 Lowell Point, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Lowell Point‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you 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 elapsed since that happened!
