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 mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. 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 find a local Westwood oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could also be used. We could also recommend 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 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 Westwood, CA 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 how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure 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 Westwood, CA who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve 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 Westwood dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then stay firm for decades, 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 Westwood, CA dentist who can address tooth loss 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

It is imperative for children to visit the dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Westwood who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with 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 teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Westwood.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Westwood, CA that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Westwood dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office 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 choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe peroxide solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Westwood dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been over six months since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for consistent dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures in the future. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Westwood, CA that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great match.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your smile feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Westwood dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential problems. Should they notice something awry, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Westwood dental office we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you visit the dentist regularly they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

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.
