What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Sleetmute, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Sleetmute area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
