What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing Healthplex dentist in Point Hope, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Point Hope area 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 surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
