As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Mekoryuk, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Mekoryuk‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons 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 difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. 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.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Mekoryuk, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Mekoryuk dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even talking 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 prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a great Mekoryuk oral surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Mekoryuk, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits in 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 articulate. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance 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 Mekoryuk, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Mekoryuk dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. 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 then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Mekoryuk, AK oral surgeon 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 dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist in Mekoryuk, and we can help you find dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Mekoryuk dentists 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 minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Mekoryuk dentists who perform tooth implant. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Mekoryuk who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven 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 strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Mekoryuk.

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.
