A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even talking clearly 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 leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a local Ketchikan dentist who is in-network with Obama Care and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. 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 could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, the 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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Ketchikan, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Ketchikan, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Ketchikan dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Ketchikan, AK dental professional who can provide these services and takes new patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

It is crucial for kids to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your 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 dental office in Ketchikan who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster 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 little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Ketchikan.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that advertise 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 give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Ketchikan, AK that accepts patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Ketchikan dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

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 fill with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Ketchikan dentist that takes patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been over six months since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly visits, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent carious lesions from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Ketchikan, AK that takes private patients we can help you find a great match.

When you go in for an exam, your dentist will begin with a professional cleaning. This will remove tartar and plaque that is tough to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your smile feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is over, your Ketchikan dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options. The Ketchikan dental practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that takes private patients, we can help you find a great 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.
