What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Healthplex dentist in Takotna, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Takotna 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 gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
