What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent private dentist in Hollis, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Hollis area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.
