What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Chickaloon, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Chickaloon‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
