What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated private dentist in Koliganek, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Koliganek area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
