What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled MetLife dentist in Beaver, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Beaver‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!
