What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, 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 issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Whale Pass, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Whale Pass area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
