What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced private dentist in Tetlin, 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 location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing 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 secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Tetlin area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
