What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Guardian dentist in Chuathbaluk, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help 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 missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Chuathbaluk area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
