What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly 1199 dentist in Buckland, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Buckland‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
