What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, 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 problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent Aetna dentist in St Paul, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the St Paul‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
