What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new Cigna dentist in Clam Gulch, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Clam Gulch area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, 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.
