What To Do After Losing A Tooth
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 missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Anchor Point, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine 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 fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Anchor Point area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
