As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Napaskiak, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind 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 missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with 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 Napaskiak area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. 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 far much longer with proper care.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Napaskiak, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Napaskiak dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional 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 membership plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at 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!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking clearly 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a great Napaskiak oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation 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 lower jaw.


Once the area heals, the 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 Napaskiak, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals 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 Napaskiak, 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 Napaskiak 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 preserve the area. Your new teeth then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Napaskiak, AK dental professional who can address tooth loss and takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full 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 Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental practice in Napaskiak, and we can help you find dentists 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 jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become difficult 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 Napaskiak 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 replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Napaskiak dentists that perform dental implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

It is important for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Napaskiak who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment 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 bolster your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Napaskiak.

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.
