As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Bodega Bay, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can examine 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 lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, 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 alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Bodega Bay‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by 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 get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. 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 that act as new roots. 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 and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs in Bodega Bay, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Bodega Bay 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 takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease 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 a variety of meals. 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. 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 good Bodega Bay oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to 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 taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. We could also recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Bodega Bay, CA who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care 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 talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, 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 Bodega Bay, CA who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Bodega Bay dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Bodega Bay, CA 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. 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 a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? 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 develop major changes to your facial structure! To safeguard the health, function, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dental practice in Bodega Bay, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. 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 as well. 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, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Bodega Bay dentists or prosthodontists could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, 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 four dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Bodega Bay dentists who offer dental implants. Don’t let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

It is crucial for your little ones to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Bodega Bay 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 kid 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 molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify 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 cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Bodega Bay.

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.
