dental-implants-or-bridge

As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kaktovik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Kaktovik area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

When you are missing a tooth, it is important to fill in the space as quickly as possible. While there are clear aesthetic benefits, replacing your tooth can also help support the health of your bone and mouth in general. The process of replacing the tooth may seem daunting, but a bridge is a simple yet effective way to deal with either a single missing tooth or several that are adjacent to one another. If you are looking for a dental professional in Kaktovik, AK that is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find one that can restore missing teeth with a fixed partial denture.


When you visit your Kaktovik oral healthcare provider, they can determine if a dental bridge is ideal for you. As noted, dental bridges are most often used when someone has either a single missing tooth or a couple missing teeth next to one another. This is because this prosthetic is usually supported by existing teeth that are outfitted with crowns to provide increased support. Because it is held in place by existing teeth, this option is a long-lasting solution.


Dental bridges are often made with high-quality, bio-compatible porcelain that looks just like your existing teeth. This ensures that your prosthetic seamlessly blends in with the rest of your smile. Before your one-of-a-kind bridge is made, your dental professional will take meticulous images of your smile, so it will be crafted to your exact needs. If you would like to schedule a consultation with a Kaktovik dental practice that is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental professional in Kaktovik, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Kaktovik dental professionals could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Kaktovik dentists that offer dental implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

It is essential for children to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Kaktovik.

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

When you visit your Kaktovik dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a Kaktovik dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

Maintaining a regular schedule of preventive dental visits can be costly enough, especially without dental insurance.

With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and your primary dentist’s office, you can ensure that you and your family will always have access to the personalized, high-quality care that you deserve. For instance, checkups and cleanings are only $25 per visit, and you can enjoy discounts of up to 90% on treatments such as fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, Invisalign® aligners, and more.

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.
