What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Tenakee Springs, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Tenakee Springs area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
