What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Mill Bay, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Mill Bay area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
