As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. 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 difficulties 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 new Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kaktovik, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Kaktovik area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Kaktovik, AK who can offer a effective tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Removing a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and overall esthetics. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Kaktovik dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Kaktovik, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could discount care by up to 90%!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom tooth pulled and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a professional. If you need these teeth pulled, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Kaktovik, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last teeth to erupt, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Kaktovik dentist or oral surgeon quickly.


If you need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to make certain everything goes smoothly. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain these facts, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation, so you will not feel any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Kaktovik dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can adeptly extract your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly 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 ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Kaktovik who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental 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 adult teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Kaktovik.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Kaktovik dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Kaktovik dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

Maintaining a regular schedule of preventive dental visits can be costly enough, especially without dental insurance.

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.
