What To Do When You Lose Natural Teeth
As kids, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated United Healthcare dentist in Larsen Bay, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.
First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.
If you live in the Larsen Bay‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!
P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.
