What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. 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 impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent United Healthcare dentist in Denali Park, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.
First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.
If you live in the Denali Park‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!
