What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Chalkyitsik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple 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 Chalkyitsik‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, 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 edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
