As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Central, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Central area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than a full smile, but as we get older, most 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 tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but far much longer with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs near Central, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Central dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. 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 accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. 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 factors may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking clearly 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 link you to a great Central dentist who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Central, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious 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 aged appearance and weakens the structure 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 Central, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Central 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 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 one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Central, AK dentist who can address tooth loss 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 dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses mass and density following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Central prosthodontist who provides unique implant dentures.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between six and eight posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dentures. 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 Central who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book a dental visit.


If you questions about the cost, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Central patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice in Central, and we can help you find dentists 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 jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become challenging as well. But the most severe 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 Central dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Dental bridges could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Central dentists who perform implants. Don’t let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

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.
