What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Haines, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Haines‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
