What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Cigna dentist in Ruby, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Ruby‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams 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.
