What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Delta Dental dentist in Whale Pass, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Whale Pass area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
