As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Utqiagvik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Utqiagvik area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we get older, most 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 bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. 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 possibly a lifetime with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost in Utqiagvik, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Utqiagvik dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can even sign up 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 addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural ones!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even talking clearly 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 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 link you to a local Utqiagvik oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple 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. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, one or more 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Utqiagvik, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends 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 your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Utqiagvik, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As 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 grafting, your Utqiagvik dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate 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 keep your jaw secure. 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 one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Utqiagvik, AK dentist who can address tooth loss and takes Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole 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 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 developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the function, health, and beauty of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dentist in Utqiagvik, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, 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 consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated 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, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Utqiagvik dentists or prosthodontists 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. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Utqiagvik dentists who perform dental implants. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

It is important for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Utqiagvik who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric 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 barrier between their back molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80%. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable 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 helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Utqiagvik.

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.
