What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Shungnak, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated 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 mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Shungnak area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
