What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Susitna, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Susitna‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
