As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Lakeside, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild 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 denture or CD could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Lakeside‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than a full 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 dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. 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 possibly a lifetime with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs near Lakeside, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Lakeside dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts 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 take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

A lot happens to our smile 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this limits 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 great Lakeside oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles may be recommended too. 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 accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Lakeside, CA 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 nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance 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 Lakeside, CA who can strengthen your smile.


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 a grafting procedure, your Lakeside dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, 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 jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Lakeside, CA 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 insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dentist nearby Lakeside, 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, causing dental misalignment. 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 consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging as well. But the most severe complication is the the weakening of the jaw. 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 Lakeside dentists could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Lakeside dentists who perform teeth implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is essential for kids to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Lakeside who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen 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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Lakeside.

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.
