What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking 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 Ester, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Ester area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
