As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new Cigna dentist in Herlong, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Herlong area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please applaud our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but possibly a lifetime with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost in Herlong, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Herlong dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts Cigna. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural teeth!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. 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 schedule an appointment with a good Herlong oral surgeon who is in-network with Cigna and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Herlong, CA who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Herlong, CA who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Herlong dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can 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 Herlong, CA dentist who can provide these services and takes Cigna. 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean major problems for your smile, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. In some cases, a prematurely aged appearance 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 Herlong dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between six and eight dental implants per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with a denture connected to them on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Cigna dentists in Herlong who can provide you with a new smile. You can even schedule a dentist appointment.


If you questions about the cost, then consider signing up 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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Herlong patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dentist around Herlong, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Cigna!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging as well. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Herlong dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as implants and fixed partial dentures or bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Cigna.


Dental bridges could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Herlong dentists that offer dental implants. Do not let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

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.
