What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated in-network dentist in Sterling, 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 dedicated dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Sterling‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
