What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly MetroPlus Health Plan MetroPlus dentist in Cold Bay, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, 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, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Cold Bay area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
