Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. 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 good Ruby oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. 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 be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, one or more 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Ruby, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the structure 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 Ruby, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Ruby dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Ruby, AK dentist who can provide these services 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 insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. 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 can happen!

It is essential for children to visit the dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Ruby who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children 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 barrier between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel. 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 decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Ruby.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Ruby, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Ruby dentist, 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. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Ruby dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-yearly checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent decay from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Ruby, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar and plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with fantastic brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your mouth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is over, your Ruby dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options. The Ruby dental office we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your teeth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

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.
