What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. 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 eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Port Alexander, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Port Alexander‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
