What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Pilot Station, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Pilot Station area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
