A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. 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 a prematurely aged 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 Mekoryuk oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost 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 such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, one or more 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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Mekoryuk, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits 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 speak. But the most serious complication is the break down of structure 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 jaw 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 Mekoryuk, AK who can shore up your jaw.


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 upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Mekoryuk dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth can then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Mekoryuk, AK dental professional who can offer a sinus lift and takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

It is imperative for your little ones to visit a dental professional on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Mekoryuk who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Mekoryuk.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Mekoryuk, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Mekoryuk dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request an appointment online with a Mekoryuk dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Mekoryuk dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential complications. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they will explain your treatment options.

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.
