What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Hydaburg, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate 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 gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Hydaburg area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
