What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Kupreanof, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth 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 Kupreanof area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
