What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent DentaQuest dentist in Eagle, 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. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Eagle‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
