As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly Cigna dentist in Alto, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Alto‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts placed 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 far much longer with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near you in Alto, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Alto dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with Cigna. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a good Alto oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Cigna and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could also be used. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through 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 or oral surgeon in Alto, CA who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance 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 Alto, CA who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Alto dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can 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 Alto, CA dental professional who can offer a sinus lift and takes Cigna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole 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 Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost most of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean major problems for your smile, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures 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 Alto dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant-supported dentures need between six and eight implants per arch. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Cigna dentists in Alto who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even request an online dental appointment.


If you are wondering how much dental implants cost, then consider registering for our Direct Dental Plan. Our simple membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Alto patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice around Alto, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Cigna!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be challenging too. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Alto dentists or prosthodontists could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, and select treatment options that could be covered with Cigna.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Alto dentists that offer dental implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
