What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated Aetna dentist in Arctic Village, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth 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 Arctic Village area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
