As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Stony River, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Stony River area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. 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 gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dental surgeons 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 missing 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 bridges, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades 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 Stony River, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Stony River dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist 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 membership plan to decrease 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 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 clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. 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 Stony River oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Jawbone 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 like bovine bone may be recommended too. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


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 or oral surgeon in Stony River, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care 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 speak. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without 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 gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Stony River, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of grafting, your Stony River dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of 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 firm for decades, 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 Stony River, AK 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 full 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 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 chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses bone 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 keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Stony River prosthodontist who offers All-On-4s.


Most implant-supported dentures need between six and eight dental implants per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts 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 Stony River who can provide you with a new smile. You can even schedule an online dentist appointment.


If you questions about the cost, then consider registering for our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Stony River patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. 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 structures! To safeguard the function, health, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dental practice around Stony River, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite 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, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Stony River dental professionals could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Stony River dentists that perform teeth 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.
