What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Akutan, 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 friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Akutan area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
