What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Anvik, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe 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 or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures 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 Anvik area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get 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 elapsed since that happened!
