As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Port Lions, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Port Lions‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Port Lions, AK who can provide a effective tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Taking out a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. 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 Port Lions general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Port Lions, AK area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dental professional. If you need these teeth pulled, it is best to have a plethora 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 Port Lions, 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 typically appear between 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 odd directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this occurs, they are probably going to be affected by harmful bacteria. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your dentition. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Port Lions oral surgery specialist hastily.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to ensure everything goes without complications. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of sedation and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Port Lions dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively remove your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for children to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Port Lions who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Port Lions.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Port Lions, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Port Lions dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment.

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 go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a visit with a Port Lions dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

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.
