As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Aetna dentist in Point Lay, 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 in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind 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 address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental 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 Point Lay‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. 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 possibly a lifetime 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 Point Lay, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Point Lay dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Aetna. Same-day appointments are usually available. 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 factors may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

Major problems arise 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits 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 schedule an appointment with a good Point Lay oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known 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. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. 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 Point Lay, 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 meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance 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 Point Lay, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Point Lay dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Point Lay, 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 a complete smile. 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!

Have you lost most 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 density following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. 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 facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Point Lay family dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between 6 and 8 implants 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 dentures. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture 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 Point Lay who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dental appointment.


If you questions about the cost, 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 prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Point Lay patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you lost several of them? 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 structure! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental professional around Point Lay, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Aetna!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. 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 consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become complicated as well. But the most severe complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Point Lay dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Point Lay dentists that perform dental implants. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

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.
