What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Red Devil, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Red Devil‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
