What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in Chignik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Chignik area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
