What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Aetna dentist in Rampart, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Rampart area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get 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!
