As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Alatna, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Alatna area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than a full smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but far much longer with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near Alatna, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Alatna dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also works with Aetna. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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 replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

A lot happens to our smile 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 loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a good Alatna oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


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 in Alatna, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance 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 Alatna, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of adding new tissue, your Alatna dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. 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 last for decades to come, 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 Alatna, AK oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone density following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, an older appearance 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 multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Alatna cosmetic dentist who specializes in dental implant placement.


Most implant-supported dentures need between six and eight implant fixtures per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture 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 Aetna dentists in Alatna who can restore your new smile. You can even book a dentist appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. This membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Alatna patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

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.
