As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Aetna dentist in Ester, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. 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 complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Ester area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than an attractive 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 an older appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable 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 several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near you in Ester, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Ester dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. 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 decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural teeth!

A lot happens to our smile 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 prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Ester oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental 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. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Ester, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure 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 Ester, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Ester 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 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 jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Ester, AK dentist 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. 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 the majority 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 the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a prematurely aged 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 Ester dentist who offers All-On-4s.


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 tooth replacement. No need to undergo ridge augmentation 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 Ester who can provide you with a new smile. You can even schedule a dentist visit.


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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Ester patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you lost several or possibly all 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 structures! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist around Ester, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Aetna!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw 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 serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Ester dental professionals could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Ester dentists who perform teeth implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a 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.
