What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Grayling, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Grayling area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, 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.
