What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent 1199 dentist in Lazy Mountain, 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 area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lazy Mountain‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. 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!
