As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Big Lake, 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 a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Big Lake area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, 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 showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are locked into 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 tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near Big Lake, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Big Lake dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes Aetna. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease 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 replacement teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even talking 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. 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 local Big Lake dentist who is in-network with Aetna and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure 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 like bovine bone may be recommended too. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, 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 Big Lake, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental 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 how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Big Lake, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Big Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support one or more 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 jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Big Lake, AK oral surgeon who can provide these services and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have 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 major problems for your smile, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses mass and density following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 preserve your youthful features. But what if your jaw is too weak for a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Big Lake family dentist who provides unique implant dentures.


Most implant dentures need between 6 and 8 posts per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dentures. 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, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Aetna dentists in Big Lake who can restore your new smile. You can even schedule an online dentist appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider signing up for our Direct Dental Plan. Our simple 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 Big Lake patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental professional nearby Big Lake, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Aetna!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. But the most severe complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Big Lake dentists could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. All on four dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Big Lake dentists that perform tooth implant. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
