What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing DentaQuest dentist in Tatitlek, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Tatitlek‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
