What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new 1199 dentist in Chignik, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Chignik area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
