What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Prudhoe Bay, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Prudhoe Bay‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
