As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an amazing Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Old Harbor, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Old Harbor‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. 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 congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.

You can’t put a price on a full smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are securely attached to 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 tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Old Harbor, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Old Harbor dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

Oral health declines 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits 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 find a good Old Harbor dentist who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure 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. Others recommend synthetic materials. During 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Old Harbor, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without tooth 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 Old Harbor, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Old Harbor dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate 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 can then last for decades to come, 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 Old Harbor, 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 complete smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Have you lost all 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, an older appearance 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 multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Old Harbor dentist who provides unique implant dentures.


Traditional fixed dentures need between six and eight dental implants per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of dentures. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with a denture connected to them 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 Old Harbor who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book a dentist visit.


If you are wondering how much dental implants cost, then consider signing up for our Direct Dental Plan. This 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 Old Harbor patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To safeguard the health, function, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dental professional near Old Harbor, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Old Harbor dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Dental bridges could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on four dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Old Harbor dentists that perform dental implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
