What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in Hobart Bay, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Hobart Bay‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
