What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Arctic Village, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Arctic Village area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
