What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Healthplex dentist in Manokotak, 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 a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Manokotak area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
