What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Delta Dental dentist in Seldovia Village, AK who can correct your tooth loss. 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 examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Seldovia Village‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
