What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent private dentist in Halibut Cove, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Halibut Cove area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
