What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Aetna dentist in Golovin, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Golovin‘s neighborhoods 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 lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
