What To Do After Losing A Tooth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing United Healthcare dentist in Alatna, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess 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, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Alatna area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!
