As children, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your facial structure. You need an experienced Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Old Harbor, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Old Harbor area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Old Harbor, AK who can offer a safe tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Extracting a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and overall esthetics. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Old Harbor general dentist could use the extraction to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find your dentist in the Old Harbor, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could discount care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to describe their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a professional. If you need your wisdom teeth pulled, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Old Harbor, 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 seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to harmful bacteria. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your dentition. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Old Harbor oral surgery practice quickly.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also assess the appropriate type of anesthesia and the state of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these facts, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will get information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Old Harbor dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively extract your wisdom teeth.

It is essential for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Old Harbor who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids 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 permanent teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Old Harbor.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Old Harbor, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Old Harbor 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 get 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 solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Old Harbor dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Old Harbor dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options.

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.
