What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Circle, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Circle area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
