As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated private dentist in Akhiok, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Akhiok area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. 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 far much longer with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Akhiok, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Akhiok dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes patients without dental insurance. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at 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 teeth!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a great Akhiok oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Doctors Network Discount Dental Plan and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles may be recommended too. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, 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 see them as natural structures. 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 Akhiok, AK who offers ridge augmentation, 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 how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the structure 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 Akhiok, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of adding new tissue, your Akhiok dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new support structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Akhiok, AK dentist who can offer a sinus lift and takes uninsured patients. 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 Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly fee, 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 major problems for your smile, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures 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 traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Akhiok dental professional who specializes in All-On-4 procedure.


Most implant dentures need between six and eight implants per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with a denture connected to them on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best private dentists in Akhiok who can provide you with a new smile. You can even request an online dentist appointment.


If you questions about the cost, then consider registering 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 Akhiok patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental practice nearby Akhiok, and we can help you find dentists that accept most dental insurances!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? 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 TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Akhiok dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with most dental insurances.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. All on four dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Akhiok dentists who perform implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, 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.
