A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure 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 schedule an appointment with a local Tonsina oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials may be recommended too. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. 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 Tonsina, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can speak. 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 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 gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Tonsina, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Tonsina dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Tonsina, AK dental professional who can provide these services 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 insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. 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 paramount for kids to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children 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 kids’ dentist in Tonsina who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment 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 children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable 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 helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Tonsina.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll 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 disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Tonsina, AK that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Tonsina dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Tonsina dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been over six months since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible.

This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures down the road. If you are looking for a dentist in Tonsina, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great match.

When you go in for an exam, your dentist will begin with a professional cleaning. This will remove tartar that is hard to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your smile feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Tonsina dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Tonsina dental office we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental complications.

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.
