As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Metlakatla, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials 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 partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Metlakatla area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. 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 implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial 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 and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near you in Metlakatla, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Metlakatla dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying factors may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural ones!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even talking 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a local Metlakatla oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Metlakatla, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, 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 lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Metlakatla, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Metlakatla dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of 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 stay in place for years, 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 Metlakatla, AK dental professional who can offer a sinus lift and takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With a monthly membership fee, 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 major problems for your smile, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 preserve your facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Metlakatla prosthodontist who specializes in dental implant placement.


Traditional implant dentures need between 6 and 8 implant fixtures per arch. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of dentures. No need to undergo ridge augmentation 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 Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Metlakatla who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dental appointment.


If you questions about the cost, then consider registering for 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 your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Metlakatla patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental practice nearby Metlakatla, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept 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 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 be challenging too. But the most severe complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Metlakatla dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Metlakatla dentists that offer dental implants. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, 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.
