What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our deciduous 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 missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Aetna dentist in Mendeltna, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Mendeltna‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
