What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Koliganek, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Koliganek area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
