What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Nikolai, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Nikolai area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
