What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled private dentist in Koliganek, 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 examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Koliganek area 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 edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
