What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, 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 could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced private dentist in Saxman, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind 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, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Saxman area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.
