Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. 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 help you schedule an appointment with a local Shageluk oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with 1199 and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, biocompatible dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. 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 Shageluk, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits in 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 talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of integrity 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 the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Shageluk, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of grafting, your Shageluk dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Shageluk, AK oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes 1199. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete 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 membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

It is essential for kids to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Shageluk who takes 1199, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Shageluk.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see myriad products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shageluk, AK that accepts 1199, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Shageluk dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe peroxide solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book a consultation online with a Shageluk dentist that takes 1199, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule a consultation soon. When you go in for bi-annual dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent infections from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures down the road. If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Shageluk, AK that takes 1199 we can help you find a great office.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove built-up that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your smile feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Shageluk dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Shageluk practice we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental complications. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your smile.

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.
