What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Kaltag, 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 inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Kaltag area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
