As children, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Port Protection, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Port Protection‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, 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 an online appointment with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Port Protection, AK who can provide a safe tooth removal 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. Taking out a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Port Protection general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Port Protection, 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 teeth pulled and are eager to divulge their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is best to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Port Protection, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Wisdom teeth are in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your dentition. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Port Protection dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes without complications. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also determine the appropriate type of sedation 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 anesthesia option, so you will not experience any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Port Protection dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can adeptly extract your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for dental visits 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 dental office in Port Protection who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with dental 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 back teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Port Protection.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that advertise 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 provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Port Protection, AK that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Port Protection dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. 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 go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Port Protection dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
