What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Dillingham, 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 dedicated dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Dillingham area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
