As kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Napakiak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Napakiak‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for a full smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost in Napakiak, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Napakiak 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 register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying factors may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural teeth!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a great Napakiak dentist who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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 Napakiak, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership 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 nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged 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 Napakiak, AK who can strengthen your smile.


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 Napakiak dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Napakiak, AK dentist who can address tooth loss 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. 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 traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Napakiak prosthodontist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant dentures need between six and eight posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures attached on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Napakiak who can restore your new smile. You can even schedule an online dental visit.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider getting 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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Napakiak patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice near Napakiak, and we can help you find dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult too. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Napakiak dentists could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. All on 4 dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Napakiak dentists who perform teeth implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

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.
