What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Akhiok, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Akhiok‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
