What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Tyonek, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Tyonek area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
