What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Naknek, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Naknek‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get 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!
