What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing 1199 dentist in Cooper Landing, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for 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 rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Cooper Landing area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
