As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Alto, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to an amazing dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.


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


P. S. Please applaud our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, 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 full and partial dentures are locked into 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 tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near Alto, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Alto 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 takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. 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 oral health concerns 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!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. 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 prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a local Alto dentist who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. We could take tissue 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. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


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 or oral surgeon in Alto, CA who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without teeth, 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 Alto, CA 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 grafting, your Alto dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up 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 maxillary jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Alto, CA oral surgeon 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 complete 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 fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, an older appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your youthful features. But what if your jaw is too weak for a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Alto family dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant dentures need between 6 and 8 dental implants per jaw. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Alto who can restore your new smile. You can even book an online dental visit.


If you questions about the cost, then consider registering for our Direct Dental Plan. This membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Alto patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers.

To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental professional in Alto, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints 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 complicated too. But the most serious complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Alto dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, 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 perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Alto dentists that perform implants.

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.
