As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tenakee Springs, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Tenakee Springs area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near you in Tenakee Springs, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Tenakee Springs dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


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

Oral health declines 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 structure 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 prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Tenakee Springs oral surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. 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. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through 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 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 Tenakee Springs, AK who performs jawbone grafting, 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 how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure 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 Tenakee Springs, 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 arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Tenakee Springs dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, 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 keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, 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 Tenakee Springs, AK dental professional who can address tooth loss 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health and beauty of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental practice around Tenakee Springs, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, 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 be challenging too. 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 Tenakee Springs dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. All on four dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Tenakee Springs dentists that perform implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Tenakee Springs 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 child with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure 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 fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable 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 prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Tenakee Springs.

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.
