What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced in-network dentist in Kivalina, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Kivalina‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
