What To Do About Missing Teeth
As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent United Healthcare dentist in Willow, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.
First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.
If you live in the Willow area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!
