As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Alamosa, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Alamosa‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 elapsed since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on an attractive smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older 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 bridges 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 dental implants cost in Alamosa, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Alamosa 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 concerns about missing teeth, but also works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease 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!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even speaking 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 leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a good Alamosa oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan 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 employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During 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 allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Alamosa, CO who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium and phosphate 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 Alamosa, CO who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Alamosa dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate 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 keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Alamosa, CO dental professional who can provide these services and takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. 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 good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. 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 all of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Alamosa dental professional who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional fixed 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 lost mass and density this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. 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 Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Alamosa who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even book an online dental appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider signing up 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 Alamosa patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may suffer major oral function and health complications. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dentist near Alamosa, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. 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 Alamosa dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Alamosa dentists that offer dental implants. Don’t 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.
