As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Sterling, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Sterling area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than an attractive smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Sterling, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Sterling dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes 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 procedure.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying factors may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even clear speech 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 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 Sterling oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. 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. Through 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 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 Sterling, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental 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 meal options, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the loss of integrity 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 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 Sterling, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of adding new tissue, your Sterling dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. 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 a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Sterling, 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 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 is possible again!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone density following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Sterling prosthodontist who specializes in All-On-4 procedure.


Traditional implant-supported dentures need between 6 and 8 implants per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Sterling who can restore your new smile. You can even request an online dentist visit.


If you questions about the 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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Sterling patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental professional nearby Sterling, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular 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 be difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Sterling dentists could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. 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 Sterling dentists who perform tooth implant. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

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.
