What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly in-network dentist in Nikiski, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Nikiski‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
