As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Port Alsworth, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with titanium implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Port Alsworth‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed 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 tooth loss. 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 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 bridges are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but possibly a lifetime with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs in Port Alsworth, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Port Alsworth dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new 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 clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older 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 help you schedule an appointment with a good Port Alsworth dentist who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Bone 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 taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, the 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 in Port Alsworth, AK who performs jawbone grafting, 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 speak. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without 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 Port Alsworth, AK who can strengthen your smile.


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 a grafting procedure, your Port Alsworth dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of 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 then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Port Alsworth, 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 insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good 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 is in your future!

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice around Port Alsworth, 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 drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging 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, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Port Alsworth dental professionals could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. 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 Port Alsworth dentists that 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 important for children to visit a dental professional every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Port Alsworth who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with 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 bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest 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. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Port Alsworth.

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.
