As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Mentasta Lake, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Mentasta Lake area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.

Nothing feels better than an attractive smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but far much longer with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs in Mentasta Lake, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Mentasta Lake 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 takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

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 break down of density 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 make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a great Mentasta Lake dentist who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to 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 such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Mentasta Lake, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care 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 serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Mentasta Lake, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Mentasta Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise 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 then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Mentasta Lake, AK oral surgeon 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 dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal 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!

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the function, health, and beauty of your smile. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dentist around Mentasta Lake, 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 jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be challenging as well. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Mentasta Lake 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 four dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Mentasta Lake dentists who perform teeth implants. Don’t let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Mentasta Lake who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with protective sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their permanent teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Mentasta Lake.

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.
