What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Napaskiak, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Napaskiak‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
