As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Saxman, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for 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 could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Saxman area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than 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 a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like 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.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost in Saxman, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Saxman dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts Aetna. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying factors may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

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 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 find a local Saxman oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials may be recommended too. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Saxman, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care 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 severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure 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 Saxman, AK who can shore up your jaw.


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 upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Saxman dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, 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 Saxman, AK oral surgeon 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

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 speaking clearly. Your jaw loses bone density 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 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 Saxman family dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant dentures need between six and eight implant fixtures per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture 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 Saxman who can restore your new smile. You can even book an online dentist appointment.


If you have a limited budget, 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 Saxman patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental professional near Saxman, 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, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. 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 become challenging as well. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Saxman dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Saxman dentists who perform teeth implants. Don’t let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

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.
