As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an awesome 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 skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, 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 multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Big Lake‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get 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 elapsed since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty 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 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 several decades 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 accepts Aetna. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at 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 ones!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech 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 an older appearance. 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 schedule an appointment with a good Big Lake oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting 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 could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, one or more 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 Big Lake, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density 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 Big Lake, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


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 Big Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, 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 then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, 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 dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. 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 the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean major problems for your smile, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses bone mass 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 Big Lake dental professional who specializes in dental implant placement.


Most implant-supported dentures need between six and eight implant fixtures per arch. 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 Big Lake who can provide you with a new smile. You can even request a dentist 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 your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Big Lake patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental professional around Big Lake, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Aetna!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. 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 Big Lake dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Dental bridges could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth.
