As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Hooper Bay, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with titanium 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 Hooper Bay‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed 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 several decades with proper care.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near Hooper Bay, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Hooper Bay dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying factors may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth 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 patients to look older. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a good Hooper Bay oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known 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. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Hooper Bay, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits in 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 severe complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Hooper Bay, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Hooper Bay dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, 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 can then last for decades to come, 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 Hooper Bay, AK oral surgeon who can provide these services 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Hooper Bay prosthodontist who specializes in dental implant placement.


Most fixed dentures need between 6 and 8 posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Hooper Bay who can restore your new smile. You can even book a dental visit.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider signing up 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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Hooper Bay patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

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.
