What To Do About Missing Teeth
As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Talkeetna, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Talkeetna‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
