As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tununak, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


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


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

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures 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 and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Tununak, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Tununak dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. 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. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

Major problems arise 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 loss of structure 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 tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a good Tununak oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, one or more 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Tununak, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems 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 phosphate and calcium to the areas without teeth, 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 lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Tununak, 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 arch? Instead of grafting, your Tununak dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of 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 preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Tununak, AK dentist 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership 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 most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses mass and density 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 youthful features. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Tununak dentist who specializes in dental implant placement.


Most fixed dentures need between 6 and 8 dental implants per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system 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 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 Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Tununak who can restore your new smile. You can even schedule an online dental appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, 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 prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Tununak patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? 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 develop a prematurely aged appearance! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental professional in Tununak, 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 drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your tempromandibular 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 complicated 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 Tununak dentists could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Tununak dentists who perform dental implants. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
