What To Do About Missing Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a permanent private dentist in Sleetmute, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind 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 or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Sleetmute area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
