As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Port Alexander, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Port Alexander‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate 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 tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty 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 prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. 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 address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near you in Port Alexander, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Port Alexander dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also works with 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 take a close look at your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement 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 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 Port Alexander oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs this care. 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 preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. Others recommend 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 allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Port Alexander, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care 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 severe 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 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 Port Alexander, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Port Alexander dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Port Alexander, 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 dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal 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 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 bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Port Alexander cosmetic dentist who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Most fixed dentures need between six and eight implant fixtures per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Port Alexander who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dentist appointment.


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 your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Port Alexander patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental practice in Port Alexander, and we can help you find dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. 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 difficult too. But the most severe complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Port Alexander dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Port Alexander dentists who perform implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

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.
