What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Minto, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD 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 preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Minto‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. 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!
