What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis 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 are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced Delta Dental dentist in Lutak, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Lutak area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
