What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Napakiak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Napakiak area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
