As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Tununak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Tununak 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 edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than 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 tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional options, 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 a dental implant costs in Tununak, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Tununak dentist who can offer tooth replacement. 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 works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

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 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 link you to a great Tununak 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 taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandibular bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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 Tununak, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits 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 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 tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the jaw 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 Tununak, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of adding new tissue, your Tununak dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Tununak, AK dentist who can offer a sinus lift 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 monthly membership 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 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, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental practice in Tununak, 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 jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Tununak dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as implants and fixed partial dentures or bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. All on 4 dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Tununak dentists who perform tooth implant. Do not let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dental office in Tununak who accepts 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 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 permanent teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel layer. 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 decay. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Tununak.

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.
