As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a dedicated Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Homer, 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 in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured 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 Homer‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is chipped, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Homer, AK who can provide a safe tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Removing a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Homer dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Homer, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to divulge their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a professional. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is best to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Homer, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars are in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They most commonly appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last adult teeth, their presence can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your dentition. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Homer dentist or oral surgeon quickly.


If you do need wisdom teeth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these facts, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation, so you will not experience pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Homer dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively extract your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for kids to visit a dental professional every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Homer who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective 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 molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest 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 prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Homer.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Homer, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Homer dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to choose whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to book a consultation with a Homer dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

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.
