As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Aetna dentist in Loring, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Loring‘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. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for a full smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with the loss of natural 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 bridges, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges 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.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Loring, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Loring dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional 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 treatment.


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

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even clear speech 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 patients to look older. 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 find a good Loring oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, 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 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 Loring, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body decreases 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 gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Loring, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As 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 adding new tissue, your Loring dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate 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 keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, 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 Loring, AK dentist who can provide these services and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full 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 a monthly 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 poor oral health, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses density and mass 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 facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Loring cosmetic dentist who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Most fixed dentures need between 6 and 8 posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. 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, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Aetna dentists in Loring who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even request a dental appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider signing up for our Direct Dental Plan. Our 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 Loring patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental professional near Loring, 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, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Loring dentists or prosthodontists could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Dental bridges could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Loring dentists that offer dental implants. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

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.
