Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. 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 patients to look older. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a great Koliganek oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Koliganek, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body reduces 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 gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Koliganek, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of adding new tissue, your Koliganek dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new support structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Koliganek, 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 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 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 in your future!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist on a biannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Koliganek who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Koliganek.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Koliganek, AK that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Koliganek dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request an appointment online with a Koliganek dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
