What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Circle, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Circle‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
