What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Nunapitchuk, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Nunapitchuk area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
