What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated DentaQuest dentist in Chicken, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Chicken area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
