As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly 1199 dentist in Gakona, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. 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 inspect 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, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Gakona‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please applaud our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

There is no substitute for a full smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs near Gakona, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Gakona dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with 1199. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a great Gakona dentist who is in-network with 1199 and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandibular bone.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Gakona, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Gakona, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Gakona dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Gakona, AK oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift and takes 1199. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Gakona cosmetic dentist who specializes in dental implant placement.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between 6 and 8 implant fixtures per jaw. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best 1199 dentists in Gakona who can restore your new smile. You can even request a dental appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider registering for our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Gakona patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become complicated as well. But the most severe complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Gakona dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with 1199.


Dental bridges could address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
