What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Haines, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Haines area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. 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!
