What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Sitka, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. After that, 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 missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Sitka‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. 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 elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
