What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated private dentist in Tenakee Springs, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a skilled 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 minor 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 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 supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Tenakee Springs‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
