What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Anvik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Anvik area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
