As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Nikolai, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Nikolai‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for a full smile, but as we get older, 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 implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures 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 replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Nikolai, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Nikolai dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density 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 good Nikolai dentist 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 care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure 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 could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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 Nikolai, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental 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 nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. 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 older 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 Nikolai, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Nikolai dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up 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 prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Nikolai, 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 full 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 Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may suffer major oral function and health complications. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist in Nikolai, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, 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 challenging as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Nikolai dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Nikolai dentists that perform teeth implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is essential for kids to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Nikolai who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children 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 shield between their permanent teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural 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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Nikolai.

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.
