What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Nulato, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor 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 set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Nulato area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. 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 gone by since that happened!
