What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Cigna dentist in Halibut Cove, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Halibut Cove‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.
