What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Aetna dentist in Nabesna, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Nabesna area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
