What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. 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 with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new DentaQuest dentist in Port Clarence, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized 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 Port Clarence area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
