As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an amazing Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Upper Lake‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial 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 replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost in Upper Lake, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Upper Lake 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 works with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even talking 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a local Upper Lake oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


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


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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Upper Lake, CA who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care 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 articulate. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure 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 Upper Lake, CA 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 a grafting procedure, your Upper Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. The new structure can support dental 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 upper jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Upper Lake, CA dental professional who can offer a sinus lift 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly 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 major problems for your smile, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a prematurely aged 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 a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Upper Lake dental professional who specializes in dental implant placement.


Traditional implant-supported dentures need between six and eight dental implants per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Upper Lake who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book a dentist appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider registering 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 prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Upper Lake patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. 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 function, health, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dentist nearby Upper Lake, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. 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 become challenging too. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Upper Lake 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 address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Upper Lake dentists that perform implants. Don’t let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a 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.
