What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. 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 permanent private dentist in Tok, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Tok‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
