What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Coldfoot, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect 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 gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Coldfoot area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
