What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new Aetna dentist in Minto, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Minto‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
