What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing in-network dentist in Dillingham, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Dillingham‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
