What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Butte, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, 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 gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Butte area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
