As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Aetna dentist in Nelson Lagoon, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, 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 lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Nelson Lagoon‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, 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 gone by since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on an attractive smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, 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 full and partial dentures 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 replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near you in Nelson Lagoon, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Nelson Lagoon dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with Aetna. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a great Nelson Lagoon dentist who is in-network with Aetna and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, 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 or oral surgeon in Nelson Lagoon, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, 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 Nelson Lagoon, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Nelson Lagoon 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 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 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 Nelson Lagoon, AK oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift 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 monthly membership plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost all of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 preserve your youthful features. But what if your jaw is too weak for traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Nelson Lagoon cosmetic dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant-supported dentures need between 6 and 8 dental implants per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures attached on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Aetna dentists in Nelson Lagoon who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even schedule an online dental appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider registering for 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 prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Nelson Lagoon patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the beauty, health, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental practice near Nelson Lagoon, and we can help you find dentists that accept Aetna!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging too. But the most severe complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Nelson Lagoon dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as implants and fixed partial dentures or bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Nelson Lagoon dentists who offer dental implants. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

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.
