As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kivalina, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Kivalina‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than a full smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are locked into 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 tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost in Kivalina, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Kivalina dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional 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 take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth 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 clear speech 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 patients to look older. More importantly, this limits 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 great Kivalina oral surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through 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 allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Kivalina, AK who offers ridge augmentation, 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 your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without teeth, 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 your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Kivalina, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve 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 grafting, your Kivalina dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Kivalina, AK oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses mass and density following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. 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 traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Kivalina prosthodontist who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Traditional implant-supported dentures need between 6 and 8 implants per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Kivalina who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even request an online dental appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. Our simple membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Kivalina patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental professional in Kivalina, 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 jaw joints 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 be complicated as well. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Kivalina dentists or prosthodontists could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, 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 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Kivalina dentists who perform implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

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.
